Cloning via Carbon Copy Cloner may disable journaling
Authored by: ephramz on Sep 20, '06 04:20:55PM

Does anyone know how I can use CCC to clone from a local disk to a disk on the network? I have a clamshell iBook (no firewire, just USB, so Migration Assistant doesn't seem to work) that I want to transfer the entire contents of to a CRT iMac with firewire. The only way I could think of to connect them was with ethernet, but CCC doesn't seem to recognize network volumes.

When I tried to do what CCC does by hand on the command line, basically doing a
"sudo cp -R /Volumes/fromdisk/* /Volumes/destdisk"
I get lots of weird permission errors, even when logged in as an admin on the network disk computer.

I've also tried doing this same thing with an external USB/Firewire external disk which CCC started copying the clamshell files to very slowly over the USB 1 connection, but then just hung for hours on one file (not a particularly big one too), so I gave up on that. I was thinking I could then use the migration assistant with this disk hooked up via firewire to the iMac.

Any other creative ways to do this would be much appreciated!

CCC over a network is not a supportable configuration. However, CCC works if you hook one machine up to the other in Target Disk Mode via FireWire.
