[iyonix-support] Re: Extra IDE harddisc on Iyonix Cube possible?

(It seems that the reply I sent more than a day ago didn't get through 
to the list, which is a shame, as I don't have a copy of it, as it 
usually gets back via the list, anyway. Therefore, I'll have to write 
this reply again. However, now I'll make sure I save a copy of sent 
mail)

Thank you! That was it. :) I didn't know it could take several minutes 
to recognise the drive but it did, and when it turned up, it worked 
just fine.

When the whole system became unresponsive for minutes, I thought it 
had crashed, and I muttered some expressions to myself usually 
reserved for Windows... :) Then it turned out it worked, after all.

Now I've finally been able to backup my hard disc... (I ended up doing 
it by connecting it directly to the DVD drive IDE, instead, as that 
was 10 x faster, but now I now I can use the USB port, as well)

Thanks for all your replies, you guys are the best.

One very simple way to do it also is to simply use file copy with the 
"newer" option... :) However, if you want things like scheduled 
backup, or other options, then you may use backup software for it, 
like the one you mention.
