Best way to archive my floppies

[Dopuser]

My question becomes, besides archiving them to my HD, or another floppy, what kind of backup media could I use?

 If you are familiar with AmigaDOS then just write a some simple script that checks if new floppy is inserted in DF0: and then will carry out conversion to adf/adz onto harddrive... tip: it is quite simply under DOpus Magellan...

I use ADF2disk and the GUI on Aminet, works great!

 If you have to back-up a few floppies then ADF2disk (or lha, dms) is fine... if you have more than hundred then why not to use power of AmigaDOS ? Script is much more convinient... just put floppy in, script wll detect the change in DF0:, then it will read out the name, then will pack and save as adf with original name... piece of cake... this AmigaOS, gentlemens, not Windows...

Reading the disk name might sound like a good idea, but I think it may introduce more problems than it actually solves.

 How long time - you think - it takes to modify script with a some input request like you suggest ? Just:
 "Do you accept the original name: abcd_1 ?"
If you select "no" then input name requester may appear... just me 1 cent more...

I'm just saying I could probably archive 100 floppies before you are finished debugging your script. :-P

 The script will take up to 10 lines probably... no big deal... check out medianotify.lha archive from Aminet...
