	I have a 20Mb disk on a Leading Edge M computer. I have tried
backing up the hard disk with:

	backup c: a:/s

(MSDOS 2.1) and the process starts fine, copying files for a while, UNTIL
a particular directory (I have a number of subdirectories). In that
directory, file are copied for a while and then the program stops cold.
I need to reboot to get back. The floppy access light just stays on.

	Any ideas ? I have tried to rearrange that particular directory,
delete the files it stops at, etc, to no avail. I am not sure the problem
is due to that particular directory.

	Thanks.
