![]() ![]() ![]() If my guess as to what your #3 question was about is wrong, then you need to restate the question. Installing Carbon Copy Cloner When you first download CCC, you may be prompted. Carbon Copy Cloner and SuperDuper offer incremental updates of the clone, copying only the files which have changed, and both offer the ability to schedule the update, so it happens on a regular bases. Software File Name: Carbon-Copy-Cloner-5.dmg File Size: 15 MB Developers: Bombich Mac OS 10.7 Lion Mac OS 10.8 Mountain Lion Mac OS 10.9 Mavericks An older version of CCC is still available for users running Tiger and Leopard. You have to manually run Disk Utility -> Restore each time. ![]() You cannot schedule Disk Utility to perform the copy. Suppose the unthinkable happens while youre under deadline to finish a project - your Mac is unresponsive and all you hear is an. For example, you cannot incrementally update your clone with Disk Utility, which means any update requires copying everything, even if it has not changed. Carbon Copy Cloner is a bootable backup solution for the Mac. The Disk Utility -> Restore feature basically does the same kind of work Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper perform, with much fewer bells and whistles. Making a wild guess, I'm wondering if you think my reference to Disk Utility was suggesting you make a disk image. You think it's better to create OSX image for my scope? You would boot from the clone and use Carbon Copy Cloner to transfer the data back to the internal boot disk.ģ. The state of your Mac will be consistent with when you last updated the clone. if OSX was damaged, I can use usb disk to restore the whole OSX (included app+data) to original disk? If your external disk is not listed, then your approach did not work as desired.Ģ. Boot holding the "Option" key and you should get a list of all the bootable disks and/or partitions available. I hope that Western Digital can get this software sorted out as I have relied on it in the past to alert me when the RAID 1 becomes degraded prompting a new drive replacement for the failing one.Boot your Mac using the external disk and verify you can do this. I uninstalled the WD DriveManager software and my finder copy backup is going smoothly and is much further than was the case with my many previous attempts. Like a number of others contributing to this forum, I too experience loads of WD software caused messages in the system log about “pop a RAID pool” and suspect that the Western Digital DriveManager software may be interrupting the new RAID during long backup/file transfers perhaps requiring a maintenance update to work with the new 6TB RAID. The backup destination drives that were tried were a Hitachi 3TB and a WDC GreenPower 3TB.Īll the disks are connected via a Firewire 800 Hub and to my iMac loaded with 10.6.7. The result was that the backup process failed after a couple hundred gigabytes copied with messages indicating that the source disk, my WD RAID, was being used or accessed by some unidentified program. I tried my usual apps SuperDuper, Carbon Copy Cloner, a Disk Utility “restore” command and a finder copy of about 2.7TB of video files. Having replaced a Studio Pro II 2TB RAID 1 with the new 3TB RAID I found that it impossible to create a backup of the RAID volume. PS: Not a single bit is lost of one of the WD drives yet. Must i look out for another drive manufacturer? In my computers are running 6 WD EADS 2 TB Drives (4 in the MyBooks) - ok not a viedeo studio, but for a single person not the least. Now drag the Carbon Copy Cloner file with the exec icon into the script. Spent 740 Euro for two 4TB Drives advertised as the choice of the professionals, i’m dissapointed by the attitude WD is showing to me - the custumer. ![]() Perhaps this DLG would run on my parallels - but there is not enough room on my disks to back up 3.95 TB of *.mkv’s - that’s why i bought a 4 TB drive !!! This action is taken at first and last by me - for several times - no difference. Adium is great with it).Īnyway - i had to agree with steelduck: WD must say something about the state of support to those drives.Īnd the people of WD must state it in the near future, or everybody will think that WD is not interested in the customers who spend a lot of money for a “high performance, three interface, best option for power video user” drive. Thats not the right way (and don’t take me wrong - nothing against growl. I had to take growl to know where my MacDrive is sick?!?īut if there is a so called drive manager, why i must install a third party software to know something about my drive? Which is not in the situation to send a correct message to the system it is design for. It’s a poor thing that WD isn’t able to give away a MacDrive (and WD is called it a Mac Drive - not me), Whether it is a 2 or 4 TB drive - or i’m wrong? My drive is - like the one from steelduck - a 4 TB.īut i see that the suggestions given by you will take no more effect, ![]()
