You only have to send a backup from one to another !
This can be done in asm only. You can read more in the Ti-Protocol File ,
which demonstrates the sending between a 92 and a PC bit by bit.
The commands of the PC get the commands of the 92(2), which receives the
backup. The Ti-Prot is included in the DOC section of the 92guide.
