Actually, you can format an RSDOS disk image (DSKINI) and backup an OS9 disk to it from RSDOS using "BACKUP", I used to do it all the time.
But... the 2 disks must be the same size. You cannot backup a 40trk DSDD OS9 disk to a 35trk SSDD RSDOS formatted disk.
The RSDOS backup just does a "sector by sector" copy, so it doesn't matter if it's RSDOS or OS9, as long as it's 35trk, SSDD, 256 bytes per sector.

To the best of my
knowledge, OS-9 disks must be backed up from within 
OS9-NitrOS9.

There may be
utilities that will allow you to backup OS-9 disks from within 
RS-DOS, but I
don't know of them.

I'm sure someone here can direct you to such a utility if
there is one 
available.
