Make ADF of Amiga partitions

[UK-Robbie]

Hello,
I'm looking for away on backing up my Amiga CF card partitions that as loads of games and programs on it. I like to back it up so i can reinstall the ADF files if anything go wrong.

I have got SD Floppy Emulator Rev C installed inside my Amiga that i can use to reinstall any games from the ADF files.

Any body know of any programs that will let me do this?
I do have this Amiga to PC link and program that will let me make ADF files but it ends up crashing when doing it.

Am looking for any ADF program so i can make it into a HFE file.

Thank you

Can you do stuff like that in workbench or is there some program. I like to make a clone of my partitions.

Thank you

What i'm trying to do is make a ADF file of all my Partitions on the CF card so i can back it up on my Mac so i know i have a copy.

This is what i'm trying to do, but how and what program to use?
The only tool i have is amiga forever link program.

I did not know if there is any program or anyway on making a clone of my partitions to a ADF file.

Thank you

You got it all wrong!! You do not partition your Amiga hard drive to ADF file that is impossible. It is like saying, hey guys...I am going to partition my Windows HD of 1 TB to a disk image of 1.44 Mb and I am going to put all the partitions and information of 1 TB into a single floppy disk of 1.44 MB. You can see the impossibility on that.

ADF = Amiga Disk File. It can only hold 880 KB. Even if your HD is 20 MB maximum there is no way you can put 20 MB into 880 ADF disk image.

What you want to do...is put it into a HDF image file....

No what i'm saying is i won't to clone the files off all my partitions into a ADF file. So i have got a ADF file of game partition 1 & 2 and a copy of workbench to a ADF file.

I will have a look into it!
I know a little bit about Amiga but for a old computer i'm still learning from this day. :laugh1:

Thank you very much all.

Thanks for the help.
I have got one of there's coming to think about it!
But i will have to find it.

Do i need to format the CF card in HDTools for workbench to see it or do i have to install some drivers?

Never got it working before so i put it to one side. lol

Coming to think about it again you are right AmigaClassicRule.
 That a ADF is a floppy image and a HDF is a hard drive image.

But i did not know if i can fit all my files into a big ADF image file for the 3 partitions or are they fix size of a floppy disk?

I was thinking of doing this as i can have a backup on my Mac and it's easy to copy files over from my SD Floppy Emulator Rev C.

Thank you


Again still learning :-)

Ok forget ADF.. BANG It"S GONE :pint:

May i ask anyway on what is the biggest ADF image size.
Only like to know that's all!

Is it anything like 1.44mb or less then that?
As some games as got 3 to 5 disks, did not know if the biggest ADF image size can fit all of them into one ADF image?

I'm sorry for sounding like a pain in the *** :destroy:

And thank you all very much for all your help.

Update i miss read what you lass put and thank you for the info :-)

[UK-Robbie]

Thank you :-)
That's very helpful as i did know that a ADF is a floppy image but did not know on what size it can go up to as it's a file image and not a floppy disk.
One more thing was that i have seen HDF images before but never used them as my SD Emulator don't let me use them only ADF.

But i have seen HDF image files in PC Amiga emulators and only got back in my head when somebody on here put down what they are.

So again thank you all for your help :-)
I will try and find that CF Adapter .

Hey thank you all for the replys!!!
As you may know about now that this post is old news and i have backed up my files fine.
Somebody as told me all about file formats so now i know!
HDF to ADF for somebody that don't know what it is at the time.

Is not obsessed!!!

AmigaClassicRule "obsessed with ADF" You are for real right?

Stop being so rude to people.

Thank you

What i was asking about before anybody starts going on about it! :laugh1:
I was looking for away on backing up my files of my partitons so i can have a backup.
I don't know a lot about Amigas in file formats and did not know what i was trying to do will work as i have got this SD emulator.
I did know that a floppy image is called "ADF", but i did not know what SIZE that the image file can go up to!!!
As i know you can make your own with some programs. I have got one on my Windows PC that will let you make your own.

Now i know that it's a Floppy disk size i can stop asking :quickdraw:

I did know that a hard drive image is a HDF image but never played with them only on Amiga emulators years ago.

I'm still learning Amiga and still love playing on them, use to have one when i was a kid. :banana:

So sorry for all the pain i have given you all and thank you for your help
