Backup fails because of not enough room on destination sparseimage file???

[tubwreck]

Hi Dave,

Yes, I tried copying to the image, but that did not work (immediately failed with 'not enough room on the device'.

(In general, is that a supported use case? That is, can I manually update the disk image outside of SD and then later expect SD to do the right thing?)

Tell me more about the 'created with an appropriate maximum size...' SD created the image for me the first time I did the backup. I assume that it sized it based on the physical size of my HD. I've been doing "Smart Updates" to this disk image for a while.

Is there any way to increase the max size of the sparse image file?

If my only alternative is to create a new backup image with SD, can I tell SD to make the image bigger than its default?

As always, thanks!
