Copying & backup

[vince_6]

I backup mine via winuae. I connect the cf card to peecee and I choose add hardrive, IDE0.

Will be checking out WinUAE for copying. What I want too is a back-up drive(s) that I can use as a complete plug-in and play replacement if one of my drives goes down. Quite possible as they are quite old now.

What I am not sure is if I just copy my drive onto another device it will autoboot or if I need to copy it with any special copying software. This might be obvious to many but I am a bit out of touch with a lot of the system stuff. Trial & error should tell me I guess.

It will be OK.
When you format your new disk, just tick bootable option on HDToolbox the drive/partition you wan to boot from and then copy your content.
