Super Duper Clone and Virtual PC
Hi again!
I'm using the program successfully, it is great, thanks much! My issue is that I recently installed Virtual PC. It was a pain to install, took a long time to setup, and I don't want to have to restart to Macintosh HD and reinstall that sucker there. I have installed quite a few other programs, and would like to update my clone. Is there an easier way to handle VPC than re-installing it on the main HD? Perhaps I should just leave it on the clone only? But is there a way to update the clone without over-writing it? Thanks! ________ buy air one vaporizer |
OK, so you did this on the Safety Clone, right? You can "clone back" from the Safety Clone to the main drive if you're VERY CAREFUL. Here's what to do:
While booted from the Safety Clone: - First, back up the original drive in case you make a mistake. - Select the Safety Clone as the source volume, and the original drive as the destination. - Choose "Backup - all files" as the script - Choose "Smart Update" as the "During copy" method. You MUST choose "Smart Update" for this to work properly. And, whatever you do, DO NOT choose "Erase, then copy". - Perform the copy. This will update the OS and applications (including Virtual PC), but will not overwrite anything that was shared by SuperDuper! |
Thanks Dave!
All done, and without a hitch, and my Safetly Clone has been updated. I tell ya, the obsessive compulsive side of me is very satisfied, what with my automated daily backups and also a nice and neat safetly clone running. :D ________ Honda CBR1000RR ________ Prilosec attorneys |
Hey, it's all about feeling secure about the computer -- obsessive/compulsive or not! :)
