HD Backup to VHS

[shrub3056]

Does anybody have any experience of backing up an Amiga HD to VHS I’m told it’s possible and I’ve got some kit arriving. I just wondered

Hi there is a recent thread on this.

Maybe you have seen it?

oh, you mean hdd backup.
I'd suggest you use some other system like pc2amiga or similar.

that VHS thingy is very unreliable. you'd need a good VCR and new tapes.

Are VHS tapes still sold? I think i've did not see one in the last 2 years. Not that i searched though.

Yep - or at least I can get them from my supplier.

If this feeds out a video signal through a bnc connector or similair - you perhaps could modernise it a bit and use anything that captures a video signal and stores it on a medium, i.e. DVD recorder, video capture card on a PC, etc.

@davideo

but that would be like using AudioCD instead of cassette tape with ZX Spectrum and others.
perhaps amusing, but waste of space.
