DiskWarrior errors on new clone
 

iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
MacOS X 10.6.4
SuperDuper v2.6.2

I regularly back up my entire internal drive to a Firewire connected external drive. Each time I do that, I find that Diskwarrior reports the following errors on the new clone:

Quote:
Comparison of the original and replacement directories indicates that there will be changes to the number, the contents and/or the attributes of the files and folders. It is recommended that you preview the replacement directory and examine the items listed below. All files and folders were compared and a total of 13,153,528 comparison tests were performed.

• Errors, if any, in the directory structure such as tree depth, header node, map nodes, node size, node counts, node links, indexes and more have been repaired.

• The Root creation date was repaired.
• Critical values in the Volume Information were incorrect and were repaired.!

The clone does seem to boot and run properly.

Why do I get such errors with each clone, and are they of any concern; or is DiskWarrior just too picky and should I just quit running it each time to correct them?

Thanks.

Nothing to worry about. We've discussed this errors with Alsoft and it's basically because the files come from a drive other than the one that was erased...

So apparently it's a waste of time to run Diskwarrior after the clone.

Thanks Dave.

In general, I'd only run DW on a volume if you're having problems with it...

Thanks again for the quick, sensible replies.
