Isn't that what backup/physical does ?


Note that with the Macintosh, Apple used Sony drives. Sony developped
that 3.5" hard floppy disk and Apple was first to use it. It did become
industry standard.

Not sure if the "low level" format could have been Mac Proprietary since
that would be done by the device, wouldn't it ?
