Possible or not - Define a 'folder' as a 'target drive'?
Hello David, hello SuperDuper users.
I worked with SuperDuper (v2.01) using the 'Backup – all files' script. After this initial backup I used the “Smart Update“ script to keep my SuperDuper image on the external HDD identical to the one in use. My situation now: After modifications to the OS (lets say updating to Mac OS 10.4.5) I would rather keep my backup as it is (Mac OS 10.4.4) and just do a 'Smart Update' of certain folders in the users profile. For that reason I wrote a script that should -just update a certain folder structure within the already existing image- created by SuperDuper on the external HDD. Within a test environment I noticed that the script performed the defined job, but earsed the target before starting the copy job (action: During Copy - Smart Update). I am aware that this works like designed by definition ;-) (identical to source). Long story - short qustion at the end: Is it somehow possible that SuperDuper just updates a folder structure within an existing backup, or in other words: Is it somehow possible to define a 'folder' within an existing backup as my 'target drive'? Thanks for your help. Regards - Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Here some additional information regarding my (first selfmade) script: Script: All files from folder marc_dolfen/Büro on (source) will be copied to folder marc_dolfen/Büro on (target). Also files related to SuperDuper (Copy Scripts) and Safari (Bookmarks) on (source) will be copied to the corresponding folders on (target). Included scripts: None. Script commands: Ignore: * Ignore: .* Copy: Users/marc_dolfen/Documents/Büro Copy: Users/marc_dolfen/Library/Safari Copy: Users/marc_dolfen/Library/Application Support/SuperDuper!/Copy Scripts |
No, Marc, you can't do that. All of the SuperDuper "copy modes" operate on the volume as a whole.
If you want to test out OS versions, you should use a Sandbox. The User's Guide goes into the Sandbox in some detail... |
