Hmm. You could pull the lid on the Amiga drive and coax it into life by poking 
at the spindle; I've done that before with good results. Just obviously be in 
a position to start copying data immediately.

Strange that the backup drive died though. There might be a surface mount fuse 
on the drive that's gone, but it's an unusual failure.

cheers
