Disk image won't mount for scheduled backups

Has anybody seen this? The sparseimg was created by SD, but it can't seem to mount it. Do I need to script it to mount first?

Also, If I'm backing up to 2 different images on 2 different drives do I need to make sure the GUID of the images are the same, or just of the physical drive?

And, is there any way to have SD email the log to me after each running? I have a couple clients in different locations and it would be great if I got an email showing me problems, instead of having to log in every day? Also, are the logs erased each time, or is there a place I can view the logs from the last week or month?

Thanks.

What error do you get when the image won't mount?

Don't mess with the GUID for images: it's not checked -- it's only used for direct volume copies.

There are posts on the forum elsewhere where users have contributed log-emailing solutions. Also, you can see the last 10 logs -- Cmd-click the title bar of an existing log window and choose the "Logs" folder.

From the log: (dang, can't copy and paste across VNC)

ACTION: Mounting gouper_bkup
COMMAND => Preparing grouper_bkup
hdiutil: create failed - No such file or directory
****FAILED*****: result=256 errno=0 (Unknown error:0)

If I mount the img first, it works fine.

I'll search for the emailed logs.

It looks like the image isn't in the location it was in originally.

Okay, let me explain my set up. I am backing up to an img which resides on an external drive. I would like to swap out that external drive each week.

Can I do this? I haven't changed the GUID on the second drive, but am guessing that this is the problem.

Am I correct, or is this impossible?

Thanks.

No, it doesn't check the GUID. Is it named the same?
