It's always embarassing for me to have to ask Amiga
questions
here, but here goes...
I'd like to make archival copies of the hard disk
partitions
in an A2000 and an A4000. I've got network cards and NFS running,
so I want to find a tool for the Amiga that will convert a hard
disk partition to an .HDF file that will mount under WinUAE.
I did archival copies today, but they're on a DDS tape. =)
For example, I'd mount my NT machine's P: drive
as NTp: on
the Amiga, and the utility would write directly to "NTp:foo.hdf".
I tried this once before with 'packdev' and no
compression,
but the results apparently weren't .HDF files and crashed
the WinUAE emulator.
Haven't they once changed the format too, or was that just the addition of the
.HDF extension?
Am I missing something obvious, like that the ADF-based
tools
will work with hard disks, too?
I recall reading a document about how someone transferred his HD to a HDF
file, and I actually believe that he used Transdisk. OTOH you could try
connecting the drives directly to the PC and do a "dd" or similar.
Well, at least it's doable.
Another idea would be to start UAE, install AmiTCP, or at least amiganetfs,
and transfer the disk contents that way.
