Thanks - I'll investigate rsync.

Well, I have plenty of free space on hdb, so I could put in a small Etch
install there and boot it to do the copying (or rsyncing).
At least I have everything in a separate, corruption-free install now, so I
should be able to do much harm no matter what I do to hda and hdc.
