I have about 18 gig of stuff on my powerbook 1400; and a 120 gig HD in my B/W G4.
I would like to back up my powerbook files to the G4; I'll just use filesharing over TCP/IP unless there's less overhead/faster transfer rates if I turn on a ftpd on the G4. I'm going on a trip w/ the powerbook and wish to keep all my digital photos and MP3s safe (not counting the time I have getting the 1400 set up "my way" :).
I'm a little worried about losing my type/creator resource fork stuff though; will it be OK or should I boot the G4 into OS 9.2 (not just run Classic) and copy the files over onto the traditional MacOS?
Is there a best way to do this? It's going to take a while for all this data to move so if using 9.2 and Crushftp or hmm... maybe Netpresenz (ftpd won't be around if I lose the unix) would be less overhead/faster transfers then I could do that.
Oh except I think the only ethernet cards I have with drivers for the powerbook, are 10bT :) so maybe that's the limiting factor.
Thanks for advice,
Brian
