Archiving and preserving contents of hard drives

Harddrive archiving:
I usually use ‘dd’ or ‘ddrescue’ on a Linux computer, with the Amiga harddrive attached.
Some controllers give you a byte-swapped image. Check with hexdump -C that the image is dumped with the bytes in correct order. For Amiga disks, it should start with “RDSK” and contain a readable manufacturer and model of the drive. If the bytes are in incorrect order, byteswap the whole image with the “swab” option to dd.
