Backup Amiga CF Card on a Mac?

Starglider 2 · 27 May 2015, 00:01

I would share the how to of backing up the alien Amiga formatted CF or SD card on a Mac.

First, be careful to choose the correct value for "rdisk#" or you could wreck your hard disk. You can find the correct device by opening Terminal and typing:

Code:

diskutil list

For me it was indeed "rdisk2" and the Mac Terminal commands were therefore as follows:

BACKUP:

Code:

sudo dd if=/dev/rdisk2 of=~/Desktop/amiga.img bs=1m

RESTORE:

Code:

sudo dd if=~/Desktop/amiga.img of=/dev/rdisk2 bs=1m

Hope this helps.
