Backup Amiga HD on a PC
« on: March 29, 2004, 06:26:26 AM »
Hi guys

Could some kind person tell me how, I would go about backing up my 2.2gig Amiga HD on my PC? I mostly just want to backup my workbench(600meg)onto cd but dont have a burner fitted into the amiga, so I thought I could transfer my workbench section to my PC and burn it to CD from there.   I have my amiga connected to my PC using ami-pc linkup(para cable)but cant seem to find away to transfer data to the PC from the amiga but have no problems transfering data to the amiga from the PC.  Also my PC f**ked up (nothing new there), I'm running windows XP now and have been told that ami-pc wont work with XP????

Thanks for any help in advance guys :-D

Thanks guys for the advice, I'll get around to trying it tonight,  The main reason for wanting to BU the HD is my first amiga I bought A1200 desktop only came with games so I bought a second hand HD off ebay which didnt come with any disks.  Then I bought an 1200 Infin tower which didnt come with any software and then I bought another 1200 infin tower with a blizzard 603e board and it has'nt arrived yet so I'm just trying to be prepared just incase the worse happens.

Thanks for the comments on the website it is run by a group of ppl but it owned by Daven and jcab42.  But I have my own wee space on the site to design a sub-site so maybe When I get my amigas running right I'll do something on it.  I hail fae the Fair land of Inverness(culloden)
