Can I stop a backup?
Managed to fill up my partition and mess up the repartition, so here I am having to back-up 110GB to a new 1tb WD Element drive (usb).
So far it has been running for 21:46hrs and backed up only 47GB (.65mb/s). Unfortunately I have to move my laptop in the morning and with 27 hours of copying left - I'm going to have to stop the backup. 1. Can I do this and cause no harm to the partition on my drive? 2. Will the back-up resume from the stopping point or do I need to start again wait until I can have my laptop plugged into the drive for 48hours? Thanks Steve |
I can only provide information from the perspective of another user, but I think I have the correct answers to your questions.

Thanks Chris, I shall give it a go!

That worked perfectly - in fact I plugged the drive straight into the mac the second time, rather than the USB hub and the speed flew up to 24mb/s.
