===How to copy files===
Use the COPY or BACKUP command.
<pre>
$ COPY file1.ext disk:[dir.subdir1]file2.ext          !Make a copy of file1.ext to another location and call it file2.ext
$ COPY *.aim;* disk:[dir.subdir1]	              !Copy all .aim files (including all versions) to another location keeping the same name.
$ HELP COPY		                              !More information on the COPY command.
</pre>
<pre>
$ BACKUP/VERIFY [.subdir1...]*.*;* [.subdir2...]      !Copy entire directory SUBDIR1, including all subdirectories and files, into SUBDIR2.
$ BACKUP/VERIFY [.subdir1...]*.*;* []subdir1.sav/SAVE !Copy entire directory SUBDIR1, including all subdirectories and files, into a save set. The save set could be transferred and unpacked on another OpenVMS machine.
$ HELP BACKUP		                              !More information on the BACKUP command.
</pre>
