Backing up to Fujitsu MO [GS/OS]



Hi,

Oh boy I feel stoopid!

I wanted to back up my GS hard disk to the Mac's MO drive. It's a plain SCSI
device.

So, I hooked it up and it wouldn't mount at all. I had a MO disk in the drive
with two Prodos partitions. (The partitions are: Partition Map, Apple_Driver43,
2 prodos partitions, 1 MacOS partition) As usual, I did the partitioning with
HDT 1.8.
What's wrong here? The GS has 6.0 installed with SCSIHD and SCSIManager
drivers. (Yep, I want to install 6.0.1, that's why I decided to make my first
backup after 5 years.) I'm using Apple's "high speed" SCSI card (rev. C I
think).

BTW, I could also have plugged the GS hard disk to the mac's SCSI chain. I've
done that before and it works perfectly for moving large files to the Mac. 
However, I'm not sure if copying from a ProDOS volume to another ProDOS volume 
via MacOS will preserve all the settings. Or will I end up with damaged
resource forks and unknown file types?

Any ideas? Looks like I am a clueless newbie.

Thank you,
henrik
