Re: [Avid-L2] seeking your mac expertise on simple clone/backup software.

 

CCC would be my first choice, too.

You could also try FreeFileSync, which will show you want it wants to copy before it does so, which might work better if you know there are certain files/directories that you just don't need.   I find FreeFileSync sometimes has trouble with very long filenames/pathnames (on Mac) which don't seem to trouble CCC. 

Cheers,

I have a 2-drive internal raid(zero) that's dying inside a cheese-grater mac. And, the time machine copy of it has also failed (long explanation, not worth detailing.)

The materials is not 'mission critical' so I'm not sweating bullets, and I already copied 50% of what I want to another backup drive.

BUT, what I'd really like to do is copy the old raid to a new raid- it would just save a ton of headache The old will still work for 5-10 minutes, sometimes a longer, but spins down and disconnects itself at random intervals

sooo… is there copy/backup software that 'picks up where it left off' like good upload software? obviously the OSx copy function is useless. I tried CCC, and it has a pretty good record of what's copied - also goes in alphabetical order, so not TOO hard to figure out - but, can you suggest something better?

thanks in advance for any ideas.
