Copy a drive
« on: October 08, 2010, 02:41:13 AM »
What is the best way to copy all the data on multiple partitions to another drive?

I'm trying to duplicate GBs of data from old SCSI drives to newer more reliable drives.

Right now I'm writing down the partitions so that I can make similar partitions on another drive, then showing all icons, selecting all and copying everything to the new drive through Workbench.

There has to be a better way, this is painful.

Thanks

I finally realized that Dopus was on one of the drives and started over with that.

Still seems glacially slow, but at least I have a cancel button and a progress bar.

Is there an equivalent to ghost for amiga?

Sorry, Ghost is a disk imager/duplicator for PC hard drives.

Either drive to drive or drive to a file to be backed up.

It's really nice and I've seen similar apps for Linux, so I thought maybe there was an equivalent on Amiga.

Thanks
