A sparsebundle IS NOT a single file
The "bundle" in sparsebundle lets you know that it's not a single file. Actually, its a whole bunch of 5MB files containing data, a few metadata/index files, all wrapped up in a bundle that Finder sees as one file.
Another advantage of many files
Another advantage of a sparsebundle being many files, is it can be copied onto multiple hard drives in a pinch, or even file systems that don't support large files (like Windows FAT32 with its 4GB limit).
A sparsebundle IS NOT a single file
Correct, yet in reality, alas my sparsebundles end up being corrupted nonetheless. |
