To [not] make a bootable back-up of the start-up drive on an Intel Mac
Menu includes
Applications folder
etc alias refers to extant folder
Library folder
System folder
TechTool Protection folder
tmp alias refers to extant folder
User Guides + folder
Users folder
var alias refers to extant folder
1. Format the target HDD with Disk Utility:
HDD (not volume) Partition/ Unix File System
If partitioned, format the volume GUID also.
2. Copy start-up HDD onto target HDD using a
back-up program such as SilverKeeper,
CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper. A simple copy
will not result in a bootable back-up.
CCC cannot see the GUID disk. Neither can TechTools,
altho they _can_ see the start-up HDD.
SilverKeeper does:
Warning: Copying to (a UNIX File System volume) will lose some functionality.
SilverKeeper will create and mount a "sparce
image" file in order to avoid these issues.
Restrictions include: File size over 4GB not supported.
The start-up HDD of course holds more than 4GB. Dauntless, I proceed:
The Destination volume you have chosen does not
support a large enough "sparce image" file for
your Source data.
The maximum data you can backup is 4GB.
You must choose a volume with a different file system.
Plan B:
3. Reverse Restore with Disk Utility.
Disk Utility/ Restore
Source = Start-up Drive
Destination = GUID HDD
klik Restore
Restoring will copy new data to GUIDĀ Continue?
klik OK enter your password
wait 30 seconds
An error (2) occurred while copying. (No such file or directory)
The end.
