I would love to not have to do that b/c it was very fussy and took me days. iTunes I had to hand copy/paste the data back in. When I put them back on the new HD, I copied/pasted them back and them by hand resintalled all the user preferences for each of the necessary apps, like FF so my bookmarks were there. What's the drawback if it's not "bootable"? The way I did it the first time was copied/pasted my user home folder and my apps folder. So is there any software that will allow me to back up my files and put them in a sensibly named folder (with a date,etc)? And I use the 500g desktop one for my husbands PC back up. For example, I carry my portable around for large files I need to share when I'm working or picking up a lot of picts from a clients. I bought them so I could back up my HD AND have room for other stuff. And the only thing I can use them for is my HD backup? What a waste of money. If I use SuperDuper or CCC, can I have anything else on the external device? Will it automatically erase and replace everything on there? My externals are an 80 g and 500 g drives. And I goin' nuts trying to figure this out, lol. I understand the merge, MHC, but actually I think my question about the erasing data has possibly not been answered yet, just mentioned in passing. Which is an extra pain b/c I have to do it twice ( I want to have 2 back ups) Right now I'm doing it one folder at a time and hand selecting what is new, then copy/paste on the external drive. I really hope that makes sense b/c this is making me crazy.
How do I add my new files from the HD to a folder with the same name on the external drive without replacing the whole folder and losing my other doc's? MB Harddrive - Folder "clients" with files H,I,J,K,L,M,NĮxternal drive - Folder "clients" with files A,B,C,D,E,F,G
So now this is what I have - I used letters to represent files: I was told to only reinstall what I needed to avoid potentially putting something back on that could have caused a problem.
I copy and pasted my user folders and apps folder. Before that I backed up everything to two different external drives that I have. The problem I'm trying to figure out is this - A few months ago, my HD was replaced. I have to send my MB to Apple and they will wipe the HD.
I'm looking to use something like SuperDuper to update my external back ups. How to synchronize my HD to my external drives
