OS X + OS 9 Backup Issues
Yes, still in 2010 there are some of us running dual-boot OS 9/ OS X PPC Macs. I’m running into a problem with getting the OS 9 content to copy over correctly when using SD!
Setup (testing):
The backup works fine, except that the Vintage OS 9 Get Info comments are lost. I did a good bit of reading of this forum (back to its beginning) and experimentation a couple of days ago, and i realize that this is happening because the Desktop DB and Desktop DF folders are not copied over by SD!, and that this is a conscious decision to force a desktop rebuild when OS 9 is started, to avoid (unspecified) problems that OS 9 users have had in the past following a backup/restore where the volume names differ. One of the forum posts, whose reference i have unfortunately lost, stated: Quote:
I have verified that the desktop does not get rebuilt on OS 9 booting. I have tried this with a SD! erase and back up (with my altered script that copies over Desktop DB and Desktop DF) where both the target and destination volumes have identical names…*still the Desktop DB file is intact and unaltered, and still no Get Info comments on the copy when booted in OS 9 (and they are still happily there on the source, visible when OS 9 is running). My questions: 1) How does a SD! user back up a Mac that has both OS X and OS 9 on the same partition and have everything in OS X work and also preserve the OS 9 Get Info comments (within OS 9…*i know about CommentConverter, thanks)? I don’t mind steps that involve a manual desktop rebuild, keeping the source and destination volume names the same, or other workarounds, though a solution avoiding those is even better. I don’t mind downgrading to an older SD! if necessary, as long as it works correctly with Tiger 10.4.11/PPC. 2) I’d like to read what Dave has to say about the history of the OS 9 problems that occurred when SD! (apparently) used to copy over Desktop DB and Desktop DF. What exactly went wrong? (I’m both curious and expecting it will help me understand what options are and are not available to deal with this situation.) Thanks! ))Sonic(( |
