Folks,

Sorry for those who waited, especially Tiger users, for MacOSX::File  
which did not make test fine.  Now it does, with version 0.70.


(I ought to have done so at OSCON but the connection there was  
sporadic and I barely released Encode-2.11 :)

Re: backup strategy questions

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.
