Backup your iDisk to CD using Apple's Backup
So, how do you restore? I'm still using backup as I've really found TimeMachine to be beta at best. I have a backup plan that copies the Library/FileSync/random/macname_iDisk.sparsebundle into the backup image. However, when I restore that file, the OS recognizes it as a folder and not a sparse bundle with subfolder Bands and likely the disk image separated across the bands.
Backup your iDisk to CD using Apple's Backup
Tim, I've found that the ~/Library/Mirrors/xxxxx/myname.dmg takes up a lot of valuable space on my hard disk. So I dont' use "Auto-sync". In fact, I've found it easier to use an external disk drive and third-party software, like ProSoft's Data Backup utility. I can create a "clone" of my hard disk that allows me to restart from the clone, and then, if necessary, I can create a clone backup of it back onto an initialized internal disk drive. That's better protection than can be afforded by a .dmg file. It's a personal choice. |
