[NTLK] Transferring backups from Linear to ATA PCMCIA cards?

Depends on what backup program/app you are using. SBM utilities's back up has a option in the package itself to move backups if I remember right.  Or you can do it from the drawer/data and move the soup by holding on the soup until 'squeak' then file on the other card (using a MP2x00 with one Linear and one ATA card inserted).  The other way would be to move the soup via a soup editor such as SoupKitchen among other soup editing packages.

If it is the built in newton backup, you might be able to with a soup editor as well, but I never tried.
