Hi, kananga.

The solution, as described in the FAQ, is to use a sparse image rather than a "direct" DMG. Since the sparse image doesn't get converted, it avoids the bug in the Imaging frameworks.

Alternatively, you could create a Read/Write image (which is a DMG) of the full, appropriate size, and then back up to that.

Either technique avoids the conversion, and thus works around the image framework bug in OSX.

Is that clearer?
