iPhoto backup ; simple Folder backup (e.g. to USB stick)
=== (1) ===
I store and edit my iPhotos on Kitchen_Mac. I watch them on Bedroom_Mac. The two are connected by a LAN. I want to keep a current copy of Kitchen_Mac iPhoto library on Bedroom_Mac. Is there a way to do this with SuperSuper? The only network backup I seem to see on the UI (registered version) is to a Sparse_Image, which I cannot directly open on Bedroom_Mac unless I mount that Sparse_Image first. Problem - I operate Bedroom_Mac with Front_Row using just Apple Remote, so it's inconvenient to mount/unmount (if I understand how to use a Sparse_Image correctly). === (2) === Possibly related usage: I want to keep a disk folder (school work) backed up to a memory stick (carried to school). In school it is used on a PC/XP, not a Mac, and is formatted FAT16 (don't know if FAT32 is an option for PC/XP). Can I use SuperDuper for this? How? If no to either of these, any alternative, work-around, or future support planned? I am really hoping SuperDuper will take care of all my backup/sync needs. === When I did a small test to copy a folder to a sparse_image, SD still "evaluates" all 600,000 files, some 50GB worth, in order to copy over 1.3 MB worth of stuff. Is this normal, or are there some settings I can use to reduce this? Thanks |

We always evaluate the entire drive, since we're generally designed to copy the entire drive with some exceptions, not a single folder.
We can't copy directly to a network drive - only to a sparse image, as you've seen. We cannot copy to a FAT-formatted drive - we're designed to support HFS+/Mac OS Extended volumes. Sorry for all that bad news!

Oh well, it's been reliable for bootable backup anyway.
Is there any way to have the backup keep an archive of changed/deleted files? |

You can rotate more than one backup, as I explain in the Introduction to the User's Guide.
