Two backups
I've been happily using SuperDuper for maybe a year now, backing up to a disk image on a bus powered firewire drive.
Last week I made a bootable backup on another firewire drive. Today I'm trying to do a smart update to the disk image. Superduper won't let me do it. The sparseimage that I want to select as a destination won't show up in the "to" pop up. In other words -- I'm trying to alternate between two backups. After I use one, I can't seem to get SD to select the sparseimage for the first one. Can anyone help with this? Thanks very much, Steve |
Well, the sparse image will only show up in the "to" pop-up if you open it in Finder. Did you do that?

Got it
Okay, I see it now. I expected SD to allow me to select the sparseimage and then open it itself. That's how it works when the sparseimage is the last-used destination.
Opening it by hand in the Finder is easy, but not intuitive. But now I know. Thanks very much, Steve |
You can: select "Disk Image..." and then pick the image (even though it's grey, and ignore the warning).
You might find it convenient to save settings with the two setups (File > Save), then load the one you want (File > Load Settings... or File > Recent). |
