Re: CCC Tiger
I've successfully used Carbon Copy Cloner with 10.4.2. Note it has to be 10.4.2. I heard it didn't work with 10.4.1. Last time I used it was on Monday.

CCC Tiger
I just tried to clone a fresh Tiger install upgraded tp 10.4.2 to make myself a ready-to-go disk to use in emergency and I didn't succed. I then used Disk Utility to create a disk image of the freshly installed Tiger partition, then I burned it to DVD, all well. When it came to restore, though, it appears to do the restore procedure, but eventually the target partition is empty or does not appear in the startup disk preference pane. Is CCC working properly with Tiger? If yes, is it necessary to clone a just installed partition or should it be able to clone any partition as it was the case with Tiger? Same story for the disc image: anything I should take care of to suceed in creating an emergency disc? It looks as I'm doing something wrong, but I can't think of what. cheers, gianfranco -- 5 GB Mailbox, 50 FreeSMS http://www.gmx.net/de/go/promail +++ GMX - die erste Adresse für Mail, Message, More +++ -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

It looks as I'm doing something wrong, but I can't think of what. cheers, gianfranco I basically did the same thing just yesterday evening (night). After trying to copy some huge files from my internal startup partition to an external FireWire drive and getting Finder errors about problems reading/writing some files, I fired up my Tiger install DVD, rebooted and launched Disk Utility. I selected my startup partition and did a disk verification. Of course, Disk Utility found problems. I then went to repair the disk. Disk Utility started again, found the problem and attempted to repair it, which it did not! Moreover, it left my partition in such a state that it wouldn't mount anymore! I had a backup from about 2 weeks ago, when I left for vacation, but since I used my PowerBook while in vacation, I didn't want to lose what I had, particularly emails. So, I went to the Alsoft website and purchased DiskWarrior online. I was able to download the application, installed it on my Tiger backup and fired it up. I initially got a strange error message because I initially didn't install it in /Applications/Utilities where the application expects to be. Anyway, once I figured it out, I put it where it belongs and launched it. I was afraid I would not be able to select my internal startup partition but there it was. So, I clicked the repair button and after a few minutes of work (15-20 minutes maybe), it reported that it had found the problem and successfully fixed it. It was a problem with some directory structure, no bad block or something like that. My partition was now mounted so I launched Disk Utility and had it verify the disk. It didn't report any problem, so I rebooted from it and all has been fine so far. The total cost was $87.90. I've seen many good praises for DiskWarrior and I did mention many times that I've never had to use such a tool but I have now to admit after using Mac OS X for 4 years that it was a welcome help and savior. Kudos to Alsoft! Back to the original question, after I successfully booted from my internal startup partition and checking that everything was fine, I proceeded to duplicate it on my external FireWire disk using Carbon Copy Cloner. There is a documented problem with CCC under Tiger and if you try to launch it under your own user ID, you will get some error message. Knowing this, I launched it with 'Pseudo' under root and was able to duplicate my startup partition without any problem. -Laurent. -- Laurent Daudelin Developer, Multifamily, ESO, Fannie Mae mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Washington, DC, USA Usual disclaimers apply *** -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: CCC Tiger
I have been using CCC for some time with great success. However, the latest version, 2.3 is not compatible with Tiger 10.4. For me, it freezes when I type in my admin password to start a clone operation. I have been told this is a bug in it regarding 10.4. So far, no new updates from the folks who make it. I'm considering buying SuperDuper for $20 to replace CCC. For now, I boot an external hard drive with 10.3 on it just so I can clone with CCC. --- Francesco sciacca [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I just tried to clone a fresh Tiger install upgraded tp 10.4.2 to make myself a ready-to-go disk to use in emergency and I didn't succed.

I'm considering buying SuperDuper for $20 to replace CCC. I am also a long-time CCC user but have now switched to SuperDuper. It's as easy (or easier) to use as CCC and has the added advantage of being much faster when smart updating (synching) an already cloned drive (maybe also when doing the initial clone, but I haven't timed it). With CCC, it used to take me about 45-50 minutes to synch roughly 22 GB; with SD it's about 15-20. Support via the online discussion forum, which the developer constantly monitors and contributes to, is excellent. David -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
