backing up 2 drives
Hi checked out the other topics on this but couldn't fine one that fit it just right so I'm wondering if I can do this.
I have a large external drive which I back up my main hard drive to, but have enough room on it where I could utilize it to back a spare sata internal drive where I keep all of my photos. Is there a right and wrong way to accomplish this apart from just dragging the photos over there. I'm using a MacPro Intel running Snow Leopard Thanks |
You really need to partition the drive - one partition for each source volume you want to back up.
|
Thanks, does that require that I erase my complete back up drive and start from scratch or is it possible to create another partition without doing that.
|
In some situations Disk Utility can create a partition without erasing. iPartition can do it as well (in more cases).
|
Thank you very much dnanian for your help

I copying my iPhoto library to one EHD. Another EHD is used to do SD backup. If I have the iPhotoEHD running when I prompt the SDEHD to do backup will it back up the iPhoto images stored on the iPhotoEHD ?
How can I get informed about partitioning and utilities if it comes to that ? |
I'm having some trouble following what you're asking here. But, if I understand you, SuperDuper! is only going to back up the volume you select. It won't back up other ones unless you choose those - and yes, they should be on their own partition: each source volume should have a corresponding destination volume (partition).
Help > Frequently Asked Questions, in SuperDuper!, has instructions for partitioning. Hope that helps... |
