Backup user files to PC server
Hi,
I'm trying to backup user files to a disk image that I am directing to a PC server. I can write to the PC server fine. I can do the above function fine to the Mac hard drive. However, when I try to backup the user files to the disk image on the PC server, SD tells me that it failed to mount the disk. Heres the log: | 01:47:01 PM | Info | SuperDuper!, 2.5 (84), path: /Applications/SuperDuper!.app, Mac OS 10.5.4 build 9E25 (ppc) | 01:47:01 PM | Info | Started on Thu, Jan 29, 2009 at 1:47 PM | 01:47:01 PM | Info | Source Volume: Macintosh HD, mount: /, device: /dev/disk0s3, media: Maxtor 6Y080M0 Maxtor 6Y080M0, interconnect: Internal ATA, file system: "Journaled HFS+", OS: 10.5.4 (9E25), capacity: 76.21 GB, used: 36.63 GB, directories: 164296, files: 711049, ejectable: NO, ACLs: Enabled | 01:47:01 PM | Info | Target Image: /Volumes/Public/Marketing/Mac Backup/test.sparseimage, name: test | 01:47:01 PM | Info | Copy Mode : Smart Update | 01:47:01 PM | Info | Copy Script : Backup - user files.dset | 01:47:01 PM | Info | Transcript : BuildTranscript.plist | 01:47:02 PM | Info | PHASE: 1.

Well, in this case, it won't let us create the image due to a permission issue on the server. It needs to be read/write for all...

I don't quite get it...
Dave,
The server volume IS read/write for the user in question. Is the server capable of hosting a Mac .dmg file? |

Well, you'd probably want to use a .sparseimage (read/write), and yes -- it's perfectly capable as long as it's not FAT32. But, the server is not read/write for 'root' or the console user...

Just had this same problem backing up a .sparsebundle image to a Windows home server machine.
I fixed it by first creating the sparsebundle locally on the MAC disk, stopping the backup(as I would not have had enough space otherwise!!) and then locating the file on the mac and copying it over to the server and pointing SD to the same location as to where I copied the file to on the server and restarting the backup again.... and it seems to be backing up fine now. hope that helps Piers |
