Backup Funktion

[Rally2000]

I’m trying to do a simple backup to a Floppy but I don’t know how to code it to where it loops until it has successfully written my file!
I would appreciate it very much if someone could show me!
Thanks!!!
Here is what I have!

Dim result As MsgBoxResult
        result = MessageBox.Show("Please Insert a Floppy Disk into Drive A:\", "Insert Floppy", MessageBoxButtons.OKCancel, MessageBoxIcon.Information)
 
        If result = MsgBoxResult.OK Then
            Try
                System.IO.File.Delete("A:\MyFile")
                System.IO.File.Copy("C:\Program Files\My Program\My File", "A:\My File")
            Catch ex As Exception
                MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, " An Error has Occurred! ")
            End Try
 
        ElseIf result = MsgBoxResult.Cancel Then
 
            Exit Sub
 
        End If

Hi.

One way of doing it could be to use streams instead of the copy method.

If you open and read the original file as a stream, you can read the entire file into a byte array.

Then you can open a new stream on the floppy, where you can write the same byte array, one byte at a time. this way you can even have a progressbar showing you how far you got.
If you want to speed it up, you should probably write 1024 bytes at a time, but that's up to you, how many you want.

Hope this is help to you. If not, please ignore..
