Backing up to network drive w/o sparse format?
I want to set up my family's MacBooks (various models) to backup via SuperDuper to my home NAS (Western Digital MyBook Live 3TB).
I know I can create sparsebundles for each computer and back up to them, but I'd prefer to use a more direct folder-to-folder copy, that way a slight corruption of the sparsebundle could not render the entire backup useless. In other words, if I have computers A, B, and C, and each of those has a single /mystuff folder on their hard drives, I'd like browsing my NAS to show me this: /backups/A/mystuff /backups/B/mystuff /backups/C/mystuff Instead of what I believe SD's default backup scheme would create: /backups/A.sparsebundle /backups/B.sparsebundle /backups/C.sparsebundle because inside each .sparsebundle package there is its own file system hiding where the /mystuff folder and its contents actually are. I know that if I were backing up to a USB drive then what I'm asking for is the default behavior, so I'm looking for a way to get SuperDuper to treat a network drive like a locally attached drive. I'm a technical user, so I'm happy to hit the command line, edit plists, etc. if that makes this possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! |
