Here is the situation that I’m working with:
I have been doing daily backups of the 800MHz using SuperDuper to
an external 1TB firewire drive. Even though SuperDuper has been
finishing each backup making the TB drive bootable, it actually
isn’t. I have to use another way to get SuperDuper to restore the
backed-up data to the 1.67 book. I cannot find, at this time, the
SuperDuper disk to install into the 1.67. But I do have SuperDuper
on a working 17” 1.33 MHz G4 PB which also happens to be connected
to the same 1 TB firewire drive. Can I just add/connect the new 15
PB directly to the same I TB drive via a FW cable, theres an open
port on the TB drive, and ask Super Duper on the 17 to restore the
back-up on TB to the new 15?
The "best" way to accomplish your goal is to forget about Tiger 10.4
on the new 1.67 and instead do a clean install of Leopard 10.5, then
during the installation process use the Migration Assistant to move
everything over from the old TiBook. The way you do this is to
select the option "Transfer my information from another Mac" and
then boot the TiBook into Firewire Target Disk mode by holding the
"T" key at startup and connect it to the new 1.67 with a Firewire
cable and let the Migration Assistant transfer everything. You could
also possibly transfer from the external 1TB drive if you wanted,
but why use a copy when the original is available?
Kris, thank you for your help, it is much appreciated. Very clear and
simple. Thanks to Charles as well. You've both prevented me from
expanding a disaster. I''m looking forward to receiving the 1.67 PB so
I can get all my data from the last 7 or so years back on hand.
