Side 0 contains the C64 version, side 1 the Atari version.

The program seems to be originally a BASIC program that was compiled with PETSPEED compiler.

The disk contains a second copy of the same program called "E/C BACKUP". Notably this program shows "(C)1983 TIMEWORKS INC.". The changed copyright statement seems to be patched directly into the compiled basic code. This would explain the cutted off "CORP." in the C64 version (compare to Atari title).

Thus, this is likely a rerelease.

The disk also contains Single Disk Backup 1.0 from 27 Jul 1982 by Michael Schaff (C) CBM.
