How to backup Jaz disk in OS3.9

[golem]

Hi everyone,
I'm after some friendly suggestions about how I can get a backup of my system. I will describe my setup; (I'm not bragging if it seems like that I'm after some help  :-) )
I have two 1200s both with Blizzard accelerators but one (my main machine) has the SCSI addon. This boots from Iomega 2Gb Jaz and has no hard drive. The second machine I turn on after the main one is up and this has no hard drive either but boots from floppy and mounts the same Jaz drive as DH0: via Pronet parallel interface to my main machine. Don't ask me why I don't get a hard drive. I don't know why. So I have one Jaz disk with all my files on it that could potentially go diddly squat and I'd be up {bleep}e creek. I have a IBM thinkpad laptop and I have bought a PCMCIA Jaz adaptor for it and this can read the AMIGA Jaz disk through WinUAE (provided I connect up the drive) and I can copy the files to the Windows hard drive but I feel this is not the best solution. There must be a better way??? Maybe I need to buy another bit of hardware (not a hard drive for the Amiga) or get the Amiga to read Windows format disks (I have a second empty Jaz disk???

Opinions, suggestions welcome on this lonely friday night.

Yeah but hard disks are noisy and I have one already in my laptop. Just posting this topic though I think I've seen the light and it is Samba. I've always put off trying it out but if I can mount the PC drive on my Amiga I can just copy files through the network via Cloanto DirDiff for the ones that have changed. It remains to be seen how fast it is compared to amiga Explorer. Wish me luck..thanks

Well after a coffee fuelled session a few nights ago I got Samba working with my Thinkpad and my 1200 (not very secure at the moment though). Now I will try to use Cloanto DirDiff to update a copy of the mig drive I have on the laptop. But I can't see the device name. I forget is it smbfs0: or smb_fs0: or something like that?

The main reason I prefer my Jaz to hard disk is being on the SCSI port it is so much faster than the damn slow IDE on the 1200 motherboard. I dread to think of it dying by COD though.

Yeah. But I don't want to tower up. I did try using a SCSI external casing with a server SCSI drive I got from work but this was incredibly loud as there was a fan in the casing and it was so bulky. It was also no faster than IDE.
