Backup

tasking as my Time Machine backup disk. ...

Time machine really hosed me when I installed Leopard. It asks if you want to use a disk as backup and then proceeds without asking you which disks you want backed up! I canceled it, and hosed it completely. ...

Never thought I'd be posting anything like this. As a developer, I've been running various iterations of the beta on several machines at work, but I wanted an actual retail package just to have (because it's cool and all). So I got it yesterday and went to upgrade my MacBook Pro. I did all the things one does prior to an upgrade, ran Disk Utility, ran a full backup, etc. The...

Is anyone else experiencing flakey Firewire drive performance with Leopard? I've been running a MacBook Pro with Tiger and a chain of six Firewire drives for the past year with no problems. Tonight I upgraded to Leopard, and my Firewire has suddenly gotten really flakey. For one thing, I seem to only be able to connect two drives to the chain. If I add a third, it...

Do you know the WAP key? It's possible that your backup didn't get everything - Apps such as Carbon Copy Cloner will copy hidden files that a regular copy would miss. The key, if remembered, would be stored in "Keychains", which is tied to the account it is setup with.

Decided to wait until this morning to see if I could find something better than the WD. Went there again after FedEX dropped off (they have signs on the front door saying Leopard is available at 6PM tonight), only to find...

I have a backup script that I wrote that uses hdiutil to burn an image file to the disc at the very end. I want to switch to 8.5 GB 2. ...

Apple took at least two features away in a last-minute manner: 1.) No iPhone/Mac notes synching, 2.) no backing up to network harddrives. Both are really *too* bad. I wonder how many people have already bought new AirPort base stations in hopes of backing up wirelessly and automatically with a harddrive connected to it. I personally have a 1 TB drive that I intended to...

The way it was supposed to work over a network is that Time Machine creates a sparse disk image on the network drive. Then that disk image acts as the backup drive. However, in the beta builds, it kept getting corrupted and Time Machine wouldn't work for a few days. ...

Oh got that to, and all I can do now is wait, and I need to back up my data.... Possibly because your in Australia?
