Best and easiest way to backup my amiga games
« on: June 01, 2007, 03:41:23 PM »
Hi,

iv just recently bought an amiga 600 with loads of my old favourite games on, im just worried that being floppy disks that they will become unreadable (like most floppies do these days)
what is the best and/or easiest way of backing up my collection?
would it be a case of buying another floppy disk drive? and perfroming a clone between the two drives?
i know ages ago you could use software called x-copy?

any feedback would be grateful

cheers

thanks for the great reply there mate,

how easy is it to get hold of a copy of Syncro Express?because all i basically want to do is have another copy of my original game. so probably just copying them from a single floppy disk drive would be the best idea
is this the best program to use (the way i want), and do you know where i could get hold of a copy?

cheers
