I want to backup the files on my a600/A1200 HDD. I have a usb 2.5 inch caddy and was wondering how I get AF to reconize the drives, as windows dosent.
Cheers

The latest version of WinUAE directly supports external devices such as USB harddrives, so you should be able to put the Amiga formatted HD in your caddy and access it using WinUAE.

Once you have access to it you could setup a directory on your PC as a second HD in WinUAE and copy the real HD contents into it so you can back it up.

I got a pcmpcia flash memory card. It's really fast to transfer files from Amiga (600 or 1200) to PC.
