To do this, I decided to use some of the spare space I had left unpartitioned when I set up my X5000. Firstly, I wanted to create a spare bootable partition so that even if I totally screw up something in the AmigaOS boot process, I can still get back to a working system. I’ll run through my steps for each of these areas in turn. Create archive files of these backups so they can be stored on another system.Backup my system and other partitions to directories on another disk.Create a spare bootable system partition that always has a working copy of Amiga OS 4.1 complete with all my settings and tools.I spent a few days researching and implementing a backup strategy that’s ideal for my needs and hopefully there will be something of use to other Amiga owners too. As I am experimenting more with my X5000 and Amiga OS 4.1, I’ve been getting particularly “twitchy” that I didn’t have a solid backup/restore plan in place, particularly as some of my experiments will invariably go wrong and I’ll need a way to roll back my changes to a known-good state. Happy New Year everyone! I’ve got big plans for my Amiga projects in 2019, but thought I’d start off the New Year with a blog post on a not-particularly “exciting” topic, but an important one nonetheless: Backups.
