Re: Backup



Thanks to all. Using your suggestions, I've figured things out and am exploring rsync for other machines.

As others have posted, Retrospect has a "Duplicate" command that will
provide a mirror of the source to the destination. After duplicating it will
then do a verification pass to make sure all files were copied correctly.


You can also use rsync, psync, PsyncX or Carbon Copy Cloner.
Retrospect is expensive. The others are free. The first was already
mentioned.

PsyncX is a little gui front end to psync and can be found at
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/psyncx/>.

The last is a gui front end to ditto and is at
<http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html>. It's widely used and is quite
well known and understood.

I had some disk issues recently which caused me to automate my backups.

I got a Lacie Bigger Disk Extreme (1TB) and Retrospect Backup.

I can't get Retrospect to Back up to anything but a single file on the
disk. I'll be backing up the entire disk which means that I'll have a
file some 200GB large.

Is this feasible? Can MacOS X handle 200GB files?
