Greetings Everyone,
I have been using psync to back up my entire disk (about 20GB) to a
local hard drive (300GB). Previously, I had been updating the
backup drive with changes, but I was concerned that all history was
unrecoverable.
So I wrote a little program that creates a new directory each time
(ie, 2005-08-09) and does a full backup using psync to the directory.
My question: In the event of a hard disk failure, will I be able
to boot from a full copy in a directory? How would I be able to
recover?
Full copy of your boot volume?
My impression is that it's very difficult to successfully make a
bootable image of a bootable volume. (I've booted an image, but have
not done any really rigorous testing, and that was v 10.0.)
There are ways to make images that can be restored, and there are
ways to replicate but my understanding is that even the command-line
ditto (and CpMac) may not succeed perfectly.
