An external 1G FW800 drive was getting occasional disk I/O errors when Time Machine did its backups of it, so I bought a new 3G FW800 drive and used Disk Utility to duplicate the original drive's contents onto the new. I looked and saw that Disk Utility spawned an asr process to do the copy. When it finished I ejected the old drive, renamed the new drive, and started Time Machine.
Time Machine proceeded to backup the new drive's entire contents! Ugh. I thought asr would create a faithful duplicate of the original and TM would just continue on with its incremental backups, like nothing had happened. Why did TM act like it saw all new files on the drive, and back everything up again? Now my TM drive is full... _______________________________________________ MacOSX-admin mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-admin
