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 simply use Dirwork (a bit like DOpus) when copying from one HD to another, it's much easier than using Workbench... :)

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?


Never heard of Ghost, but with over 20 years of using the Amiga, DOpus or Dirwork are about as fast as you can get, sorry... :)
