What kind of system are you backing up on a single 1.44 mb disk? I guess “restore” just had the restore utilities.

You could boot an old pc from floppy like what later would be called a live CD. Though you were constantly switching disks. Like if you ever played Monkey Island on 5.25” floppies.

A lot of terraform and docker compose files could fit on a floppy still.

Actually, that might be a fun thing to play with. It might not have data. But you could back up a good amount of config and deployment information and have a system to restore data to.
