Re: CCC on network?

2010-05-23 Thread geno.y

 I'd like to use CCC to backup drives over a network.  Or do I need a 
 different application.
  I want to do some backups on my drives that are connected to machines via 
 Ethernet


I've never tried using CCC for daily backup. For daily backup I use
ChronoSync to backup our network. It's very versatile and only $40.
I've used it for years and all of the upgrades are free.

Sync  is NOT equal to  Backup.

Two totally different functions that serve totally different purposes.

If you only sync from a to b it's a backup.

Well maybe if you only sync then you get a bad backup??  CCC will  
tell you if the copy will be bootable.

I think that's the way it works.

I just looked at the CCC web site, seem they offer a full version of
the program for free now. IIRC the last time I used ccc there were
features not included in the free version.

You said you wanted to backup over a network so I was thinking files
not boot drive. But the ccc web site has a help desk and the web site
says you can use it over a network.

CCC has been free shareware since I started using it back in 2005. 
At NO time have any features been unavailable to unpaid users.  Mike 
Bombich, the author, is quite specific about that.  This page 
contains a very polite request for donations.  In lieu of that, CCC 
now displays ads...

http://www.bombich.com/donate.html

Perhaps you have it confused with the commercialware SuperDuper?  You 
have to pay for SuperDuper to enable more than its basic cloning 
feature.  (and even then, afaik, SuperDuper doesn't do 
incremental/versioning).

Well I think I'll tackle the disk image save over my Ethernet to  
start with I hope it's as clean as CCC on a local drive.

CCC on network?

2010-05-22 Thread John Carmonne
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.
