I'm not sure if you can do this on the Newton, partially because I never have,
but on my home machine, i just type:
        dd if=/dev/hdi of=/dev/hdj
assuming that your devices are the same, and you have the source card in
pcmcia slot0 (hdi) and the output in slot1 (hdj).

Please note that this will only work if both cards are of the same capacity,
if you try it with two different sized cards and it works, please tell me.

I sure hope all this makes sense, I'm so tired...

Responding to Thomas Isenbarger's comment:
||this reminds me of a question i had this morning. . .can you backup a
||card in one bay onto a card in another bay?
