Hi Dave,
Initial backups ran smoothly for both iMac and iBook. Used Smart Update. Faster times than previous version. I'll post times next time I bu. Also, I'll get a bit more creative with some of the new features after I have a look at the manual. :rolleyes: The new screens and information provided are great additions. Nice to know what is happening. Also, repairing permissions as an option is a real ++++. Thanks so much for your creative efforts in making a great product even better. Glad you increased the price. Your skills deserve a just reward. :p My external HD thanks you, and so do I!!!! :D |
Glad you're enjoying using it! Sorry it took so long, but there are a huge number of changes in there...

Download time
Here's the copy time for my G5 iMac (did not repair permissions)
Disk size 232.76 gb/ used 43.9 gb size of partition 60 gb LaCie d2 firewire 160 gb Smart Update Files evaluated 193,858 Copied - 560 avg speed 220 time 3:24 Best time I've seen with this app. Seems whatever was creating long copy times in the previous version have been fixed! :D I'll post back with my iBook times. Curious: what is the read speed when a file is being copied? Does it vary based on file type? Also, other than copying files, is there any other factor slowing the read speed from Firewire's optimum? |
Cool, glad things are going well.
The FW interface speed doesn't have much to do with it, since there are a lot of processes running, etc... the value in SD! is fun to look at though -- feel free to compete with your friends! :) |
iBook Smart Update

Not bad at all!
