Hello everyone, Hello Dave
I'm sure you already saw that post on TUAW (http://feeds.tuaw.com/~r/weblogsinc/tuaw/~3/19238090/), but I have doubts.
Do they describe correctly, with the right words, what they did with SD ?
Now it's time for SuperDuper! to do its magic. If you're unfamiliar, SuperDuper! is a utility that can make bootable clones of a machine's hard drive, and update them incrementally. So, I had SuperDuper! update the damaged iBook's backup drive with its internal volume's current state (which only took a few minutes, thanks to smart backups). Next, I told SuperDuper! to clone the now up-to-date external drive to the 2nd iBook's hard drive, which is just like physically moving the drive, but without all the mess. A short time later (all right, a long time, but I was at work, so it's OK), the working iBook had been turned into a mirror image of its damaged counterpart, all of the important files had been saved
smart update = incremental ?
Even though any publicity is good :)
