Well, you can always do what I did.  I backed up my entire hard drive to a compressed file, then using a null-modem cable uploaded the entire thing to my PC.  Using WinUAE I was able to unarchive it.  I decided to unarchive to a NTFS partition instead of a WinUAE disk file so I can access my files from the XP side and Amiga side.  Only one catch to this, some valid Amiga file names cause problems under windows and WinUAE can hang when trying to create these file names in an NTFS filesystem.

The other obvious way to do this is to burn your Amiga HD onto a CD-R or two or three....  then just load them onto your PC.  This way you get a backup and transfer your Amiga stuff to your PC all in one go!
