Hi all, Not sure if this has been mentioned before - if not it might save someone some time!
Although I generally use SuperDuper to clone to a whole external disc or partition thereof, occasionally I clone to a disc image - today, for example, I am going to do a clean install on a secondary machine and just wanted to do a quick clone of the HD - I had a spare 700gb partition that I didn't want to monopolise with the 100GB from the clone. I just used the SuperDuper defaults for the disk image - which was "read-only disk image" however the clone failed right at the start with some ASR error. Much Googling later, I found this post on the SuperDuper forums: <http://shirt-pocket.net/forums/showthread.php?t=4698> it seemed like a similar problem and Dave Nanian said: > This is due to a bug in ASR, unfortunately; I'd suggest using a read/write > sparse image instead of a read-only image. So, I tried again using a read-write sparse image and away we went. Might save someone some time :) Cheers Neil -- Neil R.
