10.5: Back up Time Machine's sparse image bundles
Sparse bundle? My time machine backups are not in a sparse bundle. They're in a folder called "Backups.backupsdb" and I can navigate that folder just like any other folder. The drive used for my time machine backups is a second internal drive on my desktop computer.

Sorry, my mistake. I now see that this is for time capsule and network backups.

sparse bundles are only required when you're backing up to a non-mac formatted drive. This could be a networked drive with a linux device, exposing the linux formatted drive through SMB share. Obviously not up to Apple's standards and for sure not good enough for Time Machine to accept. The sparse bundle then is a good bunch of files that represent a virtual drive on top of a different file system. Quite neat. Yet network access does make the approach not entirely feasible in my experience. |
