I tried to use CCC 3.1.2 across my home network between a PCI
Graphics Yikes! running Tiger 10.4.11, and my QS 2002 Dual 1GHz
running Leopard 10.5.5 and hosting the external backup FW drive. I
did the initial backup off the Yikes! connecting the FW drive directly.
The QS is connected by a slow USB connected Airlink wireless bar,
with an iffy Zydas driver.
It should be working, but the connection gets dropped along the
network transfer. I perhaps need a USB 2 card for my QS, so the
Airlink can reach 54Mb in lieu of 11Mb (forgetting the units?). My
Yikes! is connected at 100Mb.
CCC 3.1.2 has a good description of how to make the link using
Authentication Credentials on each computer, and it wasn't too hard
to follow ... when I wasn't tired.
I'm backing up Tiger, APPS, DOCS and Classic partitions ... one at a
time from my Yikes! to the QS attached FW drive (or want to when
things get worked out).
The QS's external FW drive (a 750GB Seagate) also has a partition for
Time Machine's backup of the QS, skipping the partitions for the
Yikes! backup partitions.
Nice idea if I could get the Westell 327W to stop dropping the
connection, part way through the CCC 3.1.2 update ...
