Comments:

MIRROR stores a copy of the boot sector, FAT tables, and root directory in a "storage location" near the end of the disk. By using the /partn switch with the mirror command you can save a backup of the partition tables to a partnsav.fil on the a: drive. Note: The mirror image created by this program is only recoverable by using the UNFORMAT program for FreeDOS.
