Title: Amiga HD Cloning tools?
Post by: mikrucio on May 07, 2004, 07:39:19 AM

greetings genius'

I was just wondering, my 3.2gb died in my A1200

i did have another one at work so I took the drive to work
coz my A1200 dosnt have buffered IDE ports,
and copied the contents onto a newly partitioned 3.2gb.
using winuae.
now that all worked just fine.

but is there an easier way? I hate fart assing around
with emulator.

If I did have a buffered IDE interface i would just plug
both hard drives into the amiga. and do it that way.
But just wondering if there is a hard disk cloning tool for amiga.
sort of like ghost for Amiga?

In all my years working with amigas, there had not been a cloning tool at all for the Amiga. Just partitioning, formatting and repair tools.
Standard backup programs seem to be the norm.

Yep.  Because you don't need one.  A simple copy command works fine.  :-)  Trust me.  I've swapped a lot of drives in Amigas over the years.
