Is there any backup software for the Amiga that supports spanning? I want to backup on to Zip disks but don't want to have to manually copy over in 100Mb chunks.

Thanks.

Im developing a System Restore tool atm to include with all our hard disks. That will be available about May though!

Sound great

Would be great if there was something similar to Norton Ghost for the Amiga ;-)

Sounds good. Is there anything available now though?

Doesn't the prehistoric standard backup tool included with 3.0/3.1 (?) support spanning over DOS-devices? Or am I confusing it with some tape(worm)-mountlist kinda thing?

Perhaps Diavolo-backup does something like that?

why don't you just use some archiver with split option? IIRC lha has it
(+store all files)

[motorollin]

I thought of that, using an archiver and specifying the size for each chunk. But how would I handle disk changes when one gets full? Is there an archive that will prompt for the next disk before starting the next chunk?

have you try the quarterback? i use it a lot back in the days that i hasn't cd-rw for backups in my a1200 and it was very good. i don't know if you can set it up to work with zip disk but it's fine for floppys. my last backup of os3.1 before i install os3.5 was 60 floppys :-)
