ASR failure
I just completed a manual backup of my internal drive to my external drive, but SD reports " failed to create an ASR image of Media Store 2". is the ASR image and what I see in the advance section the same-" after copy, Create a disk image of Media store 2." The destination volume is pointed to the SD 'saved setting folder' on my internal. I also see this info at the end of my log:"10:43:31 AM | Error | Volume Media Store 2 on disk6 failed to unmount
" This is a RAID Ext HD. I see the files on the RAID ext Drive How do I resolve this problem? I'm new at this backup system, but I read enough of many forum that I should do it. SD was usually the recommended program. I just start using it, even thought I had it for a while. Is the ASR file what I boot up from if needed.? If so should it be store on my internal drive that SD recommends- ~/library/application support/SD/SAVED? I have leopard 10.6.6 Thanks for the info on how to disable spotlight from indexing Ext.

You shouldn't be creating an ASR image at all, in most cases. Uncheck that option in the advanced tab of Options.

Ok done. i I unchecked " after copy - create a disk image of media store 2". Should I uncheck " during copy-" copy ACLs from FullnessA"( internal HD)?
But what do I need for the bootable image, which I thought happen when I backup/ I see the files on the mirror drive, but I don't see haw I would boot up from them, drag and drop to internal, but I don't see a boot up file. Last edited by has55; 02-04-2011 at 11:20 AM. |

That's what the destination volume is. You select it in the startup disk preference pane. The secondary "copy" is unnecessary (and its purpose is explained in the User's Guide).

ok went back to user guide. It seem that in option-'general'- I need to select after completion of backup-"Set Sandbox as startup disk sets the destination as the startup volume but does not restart the computer.
Is this correct for getting a bootable drive? in the advance option tab titled" during copy", my radio button is already selected saying" copy ACLS from FullnessA" I read my user guide and find no info on this section. It seem to skip it. what should I do. Last edited by dnanian; 02-04-2011 at 11:47 AM. Reason: clarification (dnanian - edit, removed unnecessary quote from UG) |

If you want a bootable backup, you should be using "Backup - all files" with "Smart Update" or "erase, then copy". The "ACL" option (which is not mentioned in the documentation) should be checked, but no other advanced option should be.
Use "Do nothing" as the "after copy" option. Then manually set the drive as the startup disk in the startup disk preference pane. Note, too: the drive must be properly partitioned. See Help > Frequently Asked Questions, top question.
