Like a real masochist I tried a lot of different backup methods. The 
(rather convoluted) method I settled on was this:

*Use the IIgs to dump an image of the disk (either using one of my daisy 
chain drives from my platinum or my 80 track Atlas-8)
*Save the image via localtalk to my G3 beige.
*Have the G3 set up with Windows sharing (which I accessed using linux. 
heh.)

...now if only I knew where I had saved those disc images :(
