using SD to backup to G4 iBook
Just received my new 13" MacBook Pro. I want to backup to my iBook G4 once a day (I want the iBook to "look like" the new MBP) and also to an external FW drive. Can I do this with SD? I am willing to pay for another copy of the s/w if necessary.

You can, just put the iBook into "FireWire Target Disk Mode" and copy to it, and the drive (two separate schedules).

Target Disk Mode and, also, preparing to reformat as GUID

Also, I'm just about to repartion my ext. FW drive as GUID so I can use SD with my Intel Mac. Wish me luck. Any comments or directions for me? Thanks DAve Chuck |
You'd copy with SuperDuper: TDM just puts the iBook into a mode that lets SD! copy directly to it.

questions about using SD in TDM

Excuse the many questions. OK, I'm going to repartition my external FW drive as GUID, as I now will use my Intel Mac with SD. Is this correct? Quote:
Man, thanks if you can respond to this. I want to make sure I'm doing everything correctly. Chuck S |
You just use "Backup - all files" with "Smart Update" to copy from the MBP to the iBook, Chuck. There's no real trick.
And, yes, you'll repartition your external FW with GUID to use it with your Intel Mac. But don't repartition the iBook - that should be left APM. |
