Hello everyone. What is the easiest way to backup a system floppy to another disk? I tried Utility but it tells me 'Cannot Copy'. Does anyone have access to a good disk image I can use my my gotek to make backups to real floppies with?
Thanks!

Have you tried SUCOPY?

At the risk of sounding dumb, how to I convert MZF to a floppy image?
Re: backing up MZ-80 Basic disk
First SUCOPY is machine dependant with versions for the MZ 80K, 80A, 80B and mz700 BASIC disks, and in both 70 track and 80 track versions.
SUCOPY can format and is a disk copier (track copier 16 x 128 (1-16) sectors (MZ80K) and 16x 256 (1-16) sectors MZ80A, B, MZ700).
I can not copy CP/M disks which have skewed sector ordering +different sector ID + mixed sector sizes.
The 6.88 Kb version supplied by mz-80a is for the MZ80A.
If it cannot copy a Basic Disk then the disk is bad.
SUCOPY does have a disk to tape (#B) and tape to disk (#C) function but for DD disks a 120C tape is required.
In later version of the DD disk versions these funcions were removed to make room for a 70/80 switchable version.
