Can you update a drive over the network?
Hello
I have clones of every drive i use, and i was wondering if could update them over the network via ethernet while houses inside a old PPC G4 mac. Is this possible? |

You can update an image over the network, but not directly to a drive.

I am confused here now., excuse me, are you saying that i can not update a drive directly?
In my last post i was speaking of my iMac connected to 2 USB devices and smart update (resuming) a drive that crashed, this i assume is directly. Am i confusing 2 different processes here? After i cloned the drives (USB or FW) i plan to house them in a PPC mac which can hold over 8 drives on a ATTO PCI card, then fire the CPU up when i need to update over the Ethernet network or wireless. Thought i mention details since it matter i guess., Do let me know if i missed something here (sounds like it) Cheers Mike |

You cannot update the drive directly over a network, correct.

If you didn't write to an image, yes; writing directly to the drive can't be updated. See the "Airport Disks" post at the Shirt Pocket Watch blog...

I am cloning directly to drives, i was assuming images is what they are referred to (excuse me for been ignorant about names), ut seems now that when someone here mentioned images that they are actual boo-table images packed to be mounted later from a drive and not a drive image (clone) is this correct? |

Images are virtual disks stored in a file.

Ok so the way i should go about this is to create images over the ethernet network onto the drives, then smart update back and forth? is this how SuperDuper should work?

See the post on the blog: it gives some "best practices" for this.

However, on trying to back up via network i can not see the drives via ethernet. From what i understand, i have to same a image of the drive to a network drive, not clone it directly, and when i do i can not see any of the network drives. Any ideas? |

I don't understand what you mean; you'd choose "Disk Image..." in the destination pop-up, and then save the image on the (already mounted) Airport Disk...

It's the same with Ethernet.

I mounted the (the drive on the ethernet) on my desktop, but when i try to copy or make a sandbox image to it i cannot cause it (the drive on the ethernet) simply does not appear in the right side pop up menu
