Hard drive backup software
Just popping in
Just popping in


See User information
Hi there,

I've been looking for something I could use to back up my A1222's hard drive to my NAS drive, but I've not been able to find anything that really suits my needs for one reason or another.

I originally wrote a script that would compress the files of each partition using LHA, but I've since noted that this approach is not ideal if an error occurred. As this is a simple script I could end up in the position where the archive is incomplete (which has already happened), so I'm looking for something a bit more intelligent.

I've seen tools that mirror the hard drives by just copying the files, but these fail to work on the NAS drive.

BackMan which I used to use back in the day seems to work well, but has a 10MB limit unless it is registered. The latest version which doesn't require the registration appears to be MorphOS only.

I've tried ABackup, but this sometimes hangs.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Francis

Thanks for that, but as I said tools like these where the files are just copied don't work with the NAS drive. BackItAllUp just continually throws up errors during the backup process as it is unable to set protection bits and comments. Backup is unable to even select the NAS drive and just flashes the screen.

Kind regards,

Francis
