Re: I cloned OSX 10.4 from a G4 to a G5, and G5 doesn't boot

Since it wasn't easy getting a new one, I thought that connecting the two Macs over Ethernet would work. And, in a way, it did work (and was almost as fast as FW) for the data stuff, but it didn't for OSX. Not completely, at least.

After all, a cable is a cable, so why CCC shouldn't do its job thru Ethernet like it does thru FW? Actually, I think it does: the manual states that version 3.4: Back up to and from network volumes (e.g. AFP, SMB, via File Sharing) Maybe my problem was that I executed the clone (CCC) from the Mac *receiving* the data, instead that from the Mac where the cloned OSX resides (so I hadn't all the privileges I needed to copy all the files). Anyway, today I got a new FW cable, it worked and now my new G5 is fine and dandy! :-D Thanks to everybody for their advice. :-) -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Actually, I think it does: the manual states that version 3.4: Back up to and from network volumes (e.g. AFP, SMB, via File Sharing) Because while you can back up things across ethernet, you cannot clone over a running OS on the target system. Firewire target mode works via the hardware; OSX is not running on the target computer. This is the same reason you cannot repair the boot volume of the computer with disk utility unless you boot from another volume. -- Bruce Johnson Wherever you go, there you are B.

Honestly, I cannot see why I couldn't clone OSX over a running computer, onto an empty disk/partition (obviously, not over the boot disk): the copied files wouldn't interfere in any way with the running OS. (a file is just a sequence of data: wether it's system or not, until it's activated it doesn't make any difference) Anyway, my opinion is irrelevant (not to mention wrong! :-D ) since CCC's author Mike Bombich answered me this way: You can back up user files to a network volume, but the OS won't work if you clone system files to that volume, there's too much stuff that doesn't get preserved by the network filesystem. So be it. Firewire or bust. ;-) -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
