Retrieving files after a back up

blade002 · 17 July 2010, 15:42

I have a back up here from about 1993 on about 40 disks and all i am after from the back up is some old Amiga artwork that i did back during that time.

So my question is this -: Is there ANY way possible of reading what is on those disks individually and getting access to the files as you would a normal DOS disk that is unprotected without doing a complete restore to the HD???

The program i used for the back up was Ami-Back Tools (I no longer have it).

Any idea's!????

ABT uses a very custom format that is version-specific - you'll need to restore with ABT. I'm sure someone can zone it for you.

Hi Blade,

I have several versions of Ami-Back Tools. As the back up format is version-specific, can you remember which version you used?

Sounds like pretty crappy software if the version used is so crucial..

For interests sake, is there a better backup software for the Amiga?

I have used ABackup many years, but there are some more of them on Aminet. One recent seems to be Backup (

) which i'm also gonna try.
