Shouldn’t be an issue switching off SIP for a couple of weeks, it’s an additional security benefit but so far we’ve all been fine on Yosemite without it ;) >> >> Complete coincidence, but my 1Tb TM disk (on the old OSX) is running low on >> space and is always 'cleaning up'.

SuperDuper will clone a TM backup, Carbon Copy Cloner won’t touch it. After that you’ll need to issue the following commands in Terminal, assuming your Time Machine drive is called “Backup” , your Mac’s name (in System Preferences > Sharing) is “Graham Street’s iMac” and your hard drive is named “Macintosh HD" sudo tmutil inheritbackup /Volumes/Backup/Backups.backupdb/Graham\ Street\’s\ iMac sudo tmtuil associatedisk /Volumes/Backup/Backups.backupdb/Graham\ Street\’s\ iMac/Latest/Macintosh\ HD / The bold text is the one you might need to change. Note the use of \ to escape the space character and apostrophe. Also not the space between Macintosh HD and /, this associates the disk Macintosh HD (within your Time Machine backup) with / (your current startup drive). There will be a bit of checking on the next backup but it should pick up where it left off. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Sussex Mac User Group" group.
