Because TM tracks modified files on the fly, it's already got that tbd list ready to go when it does its hourly sweep. CCC, otoh, has to re-peruse both the whole source and destination volumes. A simple way to address this is to have CCC back up just /Users, not the whole drive. Much much faster! And, please keep in mind, a backup volume that is kept online is *vulnerable*. A real backup should be dismounted, spun down, and unplugged! Of course, if your project is so critical that you need hourly backups or better, then perhaps Dropbox is a better solution. It pushes the modified data offsite - to Amazon's S3 cloud - *as you make the changes*! - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth. -- 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.

I think a good time machine would be a perfect thing to have! Think of what you could do with it! (Thank you. Thank you very much.) -- 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.

Re: Good time machine alternative for Tiger on a DA 733
with ccc, can you do a full restore from a dated backup as you can with time machine? would be great if you could. from the FAQ on their website, it's clear you can restore individual files from a dated backup, but it is silent on doing a full restore. guess you could select all the files in the restore dialog?

It is a dated backup in the sense that it's a copy of the hard drive at the moment you back up to another disk. It's free, so download and see.

Good time machine alternative for Tiger on a DA 733
Does anyone have a suggestion for a good alternative to time machine that will run on my DA 733mhz Power Mac? My old quicksilver ran 10.5 and I am just looking for something that can perform a similar function as time machine on Leopard. -- 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.

Re: Good time machine alternative for Tiger on a DA 733
I use Carbon Copy Cloner. (CCC). It's free, and will do a total backup. I'm not sure how similar it is to Time Machine, but you CAN schedule backups with it. I use a Hackintosh with two 1TB hard drives, and everyday at 4am the main drive gets cloned onto the other drive. -Jonas -- 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.

Re: Good time machine alternative for Tiger on a DA 733
Thanks. That is basically what I need it to do so I can make backups. On Sun, Mar 13, 2011 at 10:18 PM, Jonas Ulrich jonasulrich3...@gmail.com wrote: I use Carbon Copy Cloner. (CCC).
