In all fairness the ChronoSync dev was helpful as well, and I have had no probs with the software either. And to be honest I really have had no issues with SuperDuper, mostly just questions. Plus, I have had nothing but the highest quality help with any issues - either directly or via the forum - with the Super Duper developer and keeping it all in one place would be great. I did read ChronoSync was planning bootable backups, but that announcement has been on the site for many, many months. ChronoSync is still handy for syncing the MacBook to the desktop, but if Super Duper ever offered a sync feature I would probably go SD all the way. I just today set up Super Duper to just clone/backup all my main drives, and let Time Machine run for versioning archives. But now that I have Time Machine going, it's not only a redundant backup but also offers the archive/versioning I wanted. I picked up Super Duper for the bootable factor. Differently than the way Time Machine handles this, but a safety net al lthe same. There's a good chance that your issue isn't with the software, maybe the permissions are set differently on that folder?Īlso, after posting here I re-evaluated my backup strategy and realized a lot of what I was relying on ChronoSync for was redundant with Time Machine, which wasn't even out when I set all this up.ĬhronoSync allowed me to "smart backup", but also save archives of the changed files.

I want a Mac geek who knows OS X (another reason I registered Super Duper).

I had never heard of NTI Shadow, but I usually stick with mac OS X native apps, especially for something like backup. Should I consider SuperDuper for this too? If so, what is the best configuration. I was thinking of using Time Machine for this.
I'd also be interested in backing up the rest of the laptop (settings / mail / photos) etc. Is this something SuperDuper can help with?

(If it is better, I have two new ones to set everything up on, rather than use the half full one I already have)ġ. Separately I then want to mirror this external drive to a second brand new 500GB Lacie drive. What I want to do is to have my current work folder back up the changes in the laptop folder to a storage folder on the Lacie, but if I delete something from my laptop NOT to delete it from the backup. I also have a Lacie external 500GB drive that holds older work (about 300GB) that I still need to access regularly without too much problem. If you have any additional questions regarding your sync configuration with ChronoSync, please email us at and we’d be happy to work with you to get your sync properly configured with your Drobo device.I have a MacBook running leopard for work and I currently have a 40GB work folder that contains just current and recent work. If it’s the latter, I recommend leaving it enabled so other users can access the items without trouble. If the drive is regularly swapped between Macs with this disabled, expect to run into permissions trouble when trying to access the items on another Mac.Īre you backing up your personal files in your user home folder to restore from eventually, or are you looking to sync it to a central location that everybody can access from? If it’s the former, I recommend disabling ‘Ignore Ownership’ to preserve file ownership for the items in your home folder. When disabled, drive ownership is preserved for the original owner which is great if the drive is only ever attached to one Mac. This is great if the drive is regularly swapped between Macs and users. When enabled, drive ownership is transferred to the user logged in to the Mac the drive is attached to. This setting is Mac-specific meaning that enabling/disabling it on one Mac does not affect the setting on all Macs, you must enable/disable it on all Macs the drive is attached to. It sounds like you’re being warned about the ‘Ignore Ownership’ setting found at the bottom of the Get Info window of the drive in question in Finder of your Mac.
