helo dnanian, thanks for all the help
backed up my ibook internal 30G drive to my external lacie 80G drive. i booted up from the lacie 80G and all looks well. im using the clone as i type this - fantastic! so - i have 4 drives i need to make backups of ... 2 of these 4 drives need to be bootable (my G5 system drive & my ibooks internal) ok i have just a few other Q's 1* i guess i could PARTITION my 400G seagate firewire drive into say ... 4 partitions ... and make backups directly onto this drive? this will prevent superduper from erasing the other backups whilst in the process of making one? 2* do i need the same free space on my destination drive, as is the entire size of the drive i am backing up? or just enough for files on it to be backed up? 3* is there an advantage for me to use disk images? 4* will they save any space? 5* is a disk image directly bootable, if so, are they as reliable as the normal 'backup'? i have read the manual several times, but some of it seems to be going in one ear and out the other! i think ive read too many manuals lately! x |
