DVD - restore from ~*?
Good day !
I don't have a FW HD, only a USB2 one. Can I backup and then restore (the whole system & everything) from a DVD ? This would have to be done more rarely then, if poss. Thank you, BW; Omar K Neusser OS 10.4.9, G5_PPC |
I'm not sure I understand: you want to back up to/from a DVD, or you want to use the System DVD to restore?

Just wanted to back up to/from a DVD,
instead of a FW harddisk, if this is possible, didn't find anything in the User's Guide. BW, Omar K Neusser |
It's not possible: we don't support optical media.

I've used a USB2 drive for a year now. It's a cheapo NexStar enclosure with an old rive in it. it boots my MacBook Pro fine (yeah, I got lucky).

d'u mean an old HD ? Quote:
i'll try it on my USB drive to see how it'll turn out... Thankx for the advice :-) bw, Omar K N |
Omar K N, PPC-based machines (you said you have a G5 in the first post) cannot boot off of USB drives. It is only the Intel ones (timlance said he has a MacBook Pro) that have much of a chance of booting off of USB drives.

Yeah, I missed the OP's statement of G5. OTOH, you can get many PPC (all G5 ?) to boot from USB 2. I do not have immediately at hand the StepSet from macosxhints but can verify it worked on my old 1 GHz G4 PowerBook and a 1GHz eMac.
And, yes, I meant to type "old drive." |
