did this, DIsk Utility stops and says the volume has problems

Ok you've either got disk hardware issues or it's a corrupted volume. If it's the latter DiskWarrior can fix this.

I see advantage to more storage on this machine so going ahead with the HD swap makes sense...?



I don;t see a MAKE BOOTABLE option in CCC preferences... is that the AUTOMATICALLY SAVE TO A DISK IMAGE ON NON_HFS+ FORMATTED DESTINATIONS ?

No, in fact saving as a disk image is NOT what you want to do. I don't know what version of CCC you're using.

3.4.7


Older versions had a checkbox to allow the backup to be bootable, so long as the drive was formatted correctly and with the correct partition type.

Just checked my version (v 3.3.3) and it will automatically create a bootable clone if the drive is properly formatted and you've selected a disk instead of disk image to back up to.


so whatever is in the CCC backup -IS- my clone?


I was looking in teh PREFERENCES box, adn nothing simply says MAKE A BOOTABLE DISK,
there are 5 check boxes for various things

- automatically create an archive of lion's recovery HD volume (checked)

-automatically save to a disk image on non-HFS+ formatted destinations (NOT checked)

- indicate when a block level clone is possible (NOT checked)

-dont show a warning when choosing the startup disk as the destination (NOT checked)

- ask for confirmation before pruning archive content during an ad- hoc task (checked)


You mentioned a few files that CCC complains about. What are they?

Cant seem to grab text from the CCC reports i saved... there are consistently 10 files that show up as flagged.
