Backup your iDisk to CD using Apple's Backup
Authored by: jakacmar on Feb 17, '04 11:27:09PM

In poking aroudn ~/Library/Mirrors/xxxxxx/ directory, I noticed a file called mirrors.plist. I always like to poke around inside plist files to see what kind of info each app is storing.
There's a property called "isHomeDirectory" which is boolean in the plist file. Mine's set to "no" which makes sense. But does this mean that Apple may be planning on allowing the use of an iDisk as home directory (obviously a mirrored home directory with "auto-synching")? I'm not sure what other functions the "Mirrors" directory may serve so this could have something to do with networked home folders, or even file vault for all I know. If anyone out there is using either of these then give it a peak. If you have the Developer Tools installed, just double click the .plist file and check it out.
