Read Only disk image
 

Hi,

I made a read only disk image (it's a computer I'm getting rid of so no longer need to incrementally backup) which seemed to get stuck at the last stage – Converting to read only.

The phase 2 backup to a USB drive took about 7 hours (458GB) and I stopped the process after 9 hours of converting to read only as nothing seemed to be happening and the progress bar was at complete.

I'm left with filename.dmg.sparseimage (452GB) and filename.dmg (398GB).

Before I start over, had that likely failed? Or was I being impatient? Logs are attached.

Thanks,
Jamie

Conversion to read-only is done entirely by the system. It can take a very long time. As long as your drives have plenty of space and are in good shape, it should finish...be patient.

Will do, many thanks.
