Hi All
I'd like to use CCC to backup drives over a network. Is there a way
to do it? Or do I need a different application. I have RsyncX and I
can
use it to do copy folders and such. It has a scheduling option but
it's too difficult for me to setup so far. I really would like to
use CCC
because it's such an easy and steady application to schedule, but it
seems it only will work on drives connected to the same machine.
I want to do some backups on my drives that are connected to
machines via Ethernet
I use to backup from my Digital Audio Dual 533 over my home network,
to my Quicksilver Dual 1GHz, on the same network, with a USB/FW
External Harddrive attached to the QS. I would backup to the external
drive ... not the internal one with the OS X on it ...
There's a section on how to do it in the CCC documentation:
CCC 3.3.2 > Carbon Copy Cloner Help > I want to backup my important
data to another Macintosh on my network > Learn more about backing up
your data to another Macintosh over a network
IIRC, you have to be careful how you name the partitions, and make
sure you spell their names correctly as Targets.
I now choose to move my external drive from machine to machine, as it
seems safer to CCC locally, and not over a network.
Network backup works though, once you've set things up with the
Authentication Credentials and such.
Good luck.
