How often do you back up your HD, and how?
« on: February 03, 2020, 07:20:30 PM »
After nearly losing my A1200 config and files yesterday through a failing HDD, I've started wondering how often you back up, and how?

I last backed up in June last year and was able to recover the corrupted .prefs files and the Xen font I use for the desktop; nothing too serious this time fortunately. I use lha to make an uncompressed archive to an SD card. It could have been a lot worse.

I'm also replacing my 3.5" HDD with a 4GB CF adapter preformatted with PFS from AmigaKit.
A1200 in DIY Tower. 3.2 ROMs (softkicking 3.2.3), OS 3.2.3, CF card, CD RW and IDE to SD adapter running off the internal IDE port (using the A4000 4-port IDE adapter from Amigakit), Pistorm 32 lite with Pi4/2GB/Emu68 or Blizzard 1230-IV, with 32MB 60ns RAM and 50MHz 68882 FPU.
MorphOS on PowerMac G5 and ATI 9600 pro
