Since you have a Yamaha floppy with your DKC-850, I don't understand the problem you are having.

If it is an issue of having a backup on hand, then copy the data from the Yamaha floppy drive to the DKC-850 Internal memory. Now the floppy is your backup copy.

If you want another backup copy, do an E3 backup to a USB thumbdrive. Now you have two backups of the floppy data.

Oh brother, I just spent several hundred $ with Yamahamusicsoft.com on their holiday sale on SmartPianosoft albums and can't backup or even see any of the floppy disks that arrived this week.  Riparoot and rootaripper of course don't work with Win 7 or Win 8.  I should not have junked my old cruddy old XP desktop!!  Does ANYONE have a new version of rootaripper or any utility that will allow for accessing this expensive (maybe useless ) pile of floppies? 

DKC-850 with Yam floppy drive. 

Thanks
