Why not put the contents of the floppy in a zip or rar file and name the file the same as the volumelabel of the floppy?
I used to use DiskDupe in DOS. You might Google around for that...
Norton Commander
I use RAREAD or RAWRITE. Get them here

If you are squeamish, don't prod the beach rubble.
I use HD-Copy for a loooong time... http://esca.atomki.hu/paradise/dos/hdcopy-en.html
Has many floppy-related functions 😉
thanks. i'm going to test the options.
the disks are 5.25 360 Kb

that way you lose the disk metadata.
I used to use VGACopy (with the 'modify' setting disabled) for micro-floppies, and resqflpy for floppies (since vgacopy didn't work with them)
I remember using DCF (Disk Copy Fast) and being pretty much happy with it. Shareware version was fully functional but with nagging secreens if I remember correctly.
There was also VGACopy with fancy Amiga like screens and support for non-standart formats like 1.68 or 1.80MB
