In CCC, set it to incremental backup, then unselect the whole source drive, then select the specific directory trees therein you want copied. Ditto... is the tool that older vers of CCC used (current vers uses rsync). It does really well duplicating directory trees, creating subfolders, etc. The command man ditto will give you details, and there are a whole bunch of examples at the end. It's simplest form is all you need... ditto sourcedirectory destinationdirectory hum. Perhaps add -v to make it a bit verbose. FWIW, ditto seems to do better than cp when moving large directories. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Re: File transfer not happening
Are you moving them in one swift stroke or one by one? I find sometimes the otherwise nonsensical process of moving things one by one, especially in large transfers, keeps things stable and running. Is this on your G5 or G4 (I saw a G4 in those pictures of your G5 you sent me)? Or perhaps a different Mac altogether? Are you moving from one Mac to another, or using both drives on the same Mac?

I've done both one by one and batches same deal. The machine is Stanley the G5 Dual 2.7 the only thing may be is I just installed a Seritek 1v4 card and a 2TB Hitachi drive. So far I've moved 230GB from an internal Seagate and the same amount from an internal WD at one shot. The drive I'm moving this batch from is an external 1TB Hitachi drive via USB. At first I tried via Eternet and so I thought maybe that was the issue so I moved it to USB (cheapo drive no FW) and still no cigar.
