Just a few days ago I had the same problem. I wanted to make a backup copy
of our PUMA system disk and I couldn't find any instructions in the manual, too.
You may try the following procedure: 
Use a AT with MS-DOS and the utility software COPY II - PC Release 5.01 
from Central Point Software, Inc.
Since the PUMA disk is in the MFM, 80 track format use the following
commandline: 

	copyiipc a: a: /SRC=720k /TGT=720k

This worked fine for my configuration.

Good luck
