Does anyone out there know of a program that will allow me to backup my 20 meg hardcard that's plugged into the IBM side. I've go it formatted for 5 megs of IBM storage and 15 megs for the Amiga. I can back-up the IBM side with no problems, but I down loaded two programs from the AmigaForum, but they only work on DH0: and not JH0:. So I'd like to find a back-up program before I have a crash one of these days.

Saf-T-Net should be able to back it up, but since the author Bob Rakosky is here on CIS (75156,336) you might want to ask him.

Darrell, Saf-T-net will indeed work with the Amiga partition of your hard disk on the IBM side. For a while, I was running a hard disk with my bridgeboard cause I was doing a lot of IBM work and needed the speed there. saf-T-net worked fine there (on the Amiga side – it doesn't speak IBM at all, thank you). In fact, I used it when I moved the drive to the 2090 controller (where it belongs), to back up the partition and restore it down after I reformatted in 'normal' format. There is a file in DL2 called SAFTNT.TXT that contains more information about saf-T-net. If you have any other questions, let me know and I'll try to help. ..Bob
