Creating second Superduper! drive

Friends,
I have an external HDD that I have partitioned into two separate partitions. On one of the partitions I have a Superduper! backup. I want to create a second Superduper! backup on the other partitions, using the first backup as the source. In other words, is that possible? Will the second backup be bootable, like the first?
Thanks!

not @ all.
the instructions given by Chris will only move the selected items to the external.
Also, what is the best solution then for moving files back and forth?
you've been given the solution. follow Chris' instructions.
you could also use this script:
[_*Re-Locate Selected v1.1*_|http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=relocateselected]
This script will re-locate the files of the selected iTunes tracks from their current location to a new user-chosen folder. iTunes will be updated with each track's new location and all of each track's meta-data will be preserved. Option to remove the files from their original location. (I don't advise using this on more than an album's worth of tracks or so at a time; re-locating dozens of tracks' files to a single folder doesn't seem to make much sense to me.)
NOTE: If your "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" preference set, you will not be able to create new folders in or re-locate files within the iTunes Media folder; outside is OK.

Hello, I have a G5 PPC. I want to install a copy of Entourage on the second hard drive. Can I do that or will it create problems for the processor?

Hi everyone
I had a very old intel iMac from late 2006 which was dying now dead. I just managed to copy the Entourage folder onto an external hard drive before the iMac gave up the ghost. But I could not open the Entourage copy on the G5 PPC. each time i tried to do so the PPC copy of Entourage would open instead.I have emails on the PPC copy and do not want to lose them. I was wondering if it would be possible to install another copy of Entourage on the second hard drive? I was hoping that by doing that I could access the information from the iMac which has been copied to an external hard drive.
Any help would be very very welcome.

I don't think MS lets you install Entourage outside of an active system folder. However, you can install a fresh copy of Entourage on the G5's hard drive (if you have Office 2008 or lower), then use Entrouge's Import command to move the data files from the old hard drive.
We're done this several times as we've upgraded either computers or Entourage.
However, I think that, before you act, you should also ask in Microsoft's user forums here:

How To add a second eSata drive once first drive capacity is reached

What upgrade options are available once an eSata drive recording capacity is reached?
Once an eSata drive connected to CHS 435HDC DVR reaches recording capacity, is there a way for a second external eSata drives to be connected and used as external storage devices without loss of all data on the first eSata drive?
Currently once a second drive is connected and activated on the DVR, all playback access to ALL the data stored on the first eSata drive is lost and cannot be played back once the second drive is ejected from the DVR and the first reinstalled..
Once the first drive is reinstalled the Check Capacity option for the first drive which once showed the drive as full and at maximum capacity before it was ejected and uninstalled, now shows 0% full, and 0 hours usage hours and the drive space 100% available.
These reading are without having reformatted the drive and only selecting the "accept" option once the DVR detected the drive being reinstalled.
The Recording option still will show recorded program listing, but once a recording is selected for playback, no recorded program data appears on the screen nor none of the normal indicators displayed on screen during normal playback does not appear.
This means there is no upgrade path or option available once recording capacity is reached for an eSata extended storage drive, other than losing all 350 hours of recorded program data or deletion of files to free up capacity.
Also there is no warning that once a drive is disconnected from the DVD and another drive is activated all data recorded on the first drive is lost and cannot be played back! The data must be there nut not recognizable by the DVD program even though the data was created on the same DVR and eSata drive.
How can I safely connect a second eSata drive to the DVD and not lose all the recorded data on the first eSata drive?
Thanking you in advance for your help.

Based on the description of your own observations, you can't. Does some one else know otherwise?

Creating a new Driver/DataSource in Visual Administrator

Hello,
I have been struggling to create a Data Source for a SQL Server DB in Visual Admin. I did the following.
1) Created a new Driver MSSQL, added to it msutil.jar, mssqlserver.jar and msbase.jar.
2) Created a new data source gave it a name, description
- Selected the MSSQL driver which I just created
- JDBC Version 1.x
- Driver class:
com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver.class
- Database URL:
jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://xxx.xxx.xx.xx:1433;databaseName=TestDB
3)Tried both Open SQL and Vendor SQL as database engines.
4) Gave the appropriate user id and password
With the above configuration when I entered a SQL Statement in the 'DB Initialization' tab and executed it, I got a SQL Server Driver Class not found exception.
My second configuration was to use the JDBC Version 2.0
with the following settings:
1) Use the same MSSQL driver which I created
2) JDBC Version 2.0
3) Object Factory: com.microsoft.jdbcx.sqlServer.SQLServerDataSourceFactory
4) DataSource Type: ConnectionPoolDataSource
5) CPDS classname: com.microsoft.jdbcx.sqlServer.SQLServerDataSource
6) Gave the required key, values in the 'Additional' Tab
7) Chose Vendor SQL as the SQL Engine.
With the second configuration I can connect and talk to the database.
Why would I not be able to connect to the DB in my first configuration? Are there any other configuration steps I am missing for using the JDBC 1.0?
Thanks,
Asheesh

If you are trying to create a new DBPool then you can use the OSS note 706216. This describes the method of adding the connection pools using the commands in the telnet console
I hope this helps

How do I access new second hard drive?

Hi! I am newbie, I am sorry if this a dumb question...
How do I access my second hard drive?
This is what I have:
SparcStation5 170Mhz, 192MB memory.2HDD (one 4.3GB w/ OS, second Hdd 4.3GB)
I had my sparc working with Solaris 8 just perfect!
I added the second hard drive, no problems, I formatted the HDD from withing Solaris OS, (I can probe-scsi from openBoot promt and it showes OK), everything is OK so far, I can see the send hard drive using format, I can partition it and create slices on it, everything seems to be OK, I have no problems making partitions and everything on that Hdd. But when I try 'ls', I can't see anything on that disk, any suggestions? I tried several ways from my manual/book, including mount and it reads 'no acces point on mount' or somthing like that.
this is what I see from format command:
disk 0. (seegate 4.3GB.....) this is my new hard drive (already formated and partioned, I created a new partition /usr with 3.75GB on partition 6. Partition 3 is used by the hdd with a totoal of 4GB . this shows as c0t1d0
disk 1. (SUN4.2GB) this is the hard drive with the OS Solaris 8. this is c0t3d0
Am I missing something?
Thanks!
Murillo

hi there ...
read below--
Find out the address of the drive
STOP+A
At the OK prompt, type probe-scsi. This will list all scsi devices on the system. Find the new drive.
Type boot -r so the OS will see the new drive.
Login as root and type format. Pick the new drive. The drives are listed as c(controller #)t(scsi id or target #)d(disk #). Label drive is required (it will tell you if the drive is not labeled).
Next, type partition. Partition the drive as required (always leave partition 2 as the whole drive as it is informational to the OS
Type print to list the current partitions. When you are done making changes type label
To return to the OS prompt, type quit twice
newfs /dev/dsk/DRIVE-ADDRESS
(ie c0t1d0s0) (controller 0 target(ID) 1 disk 0 slice(partition) 0).
mkdir directory, where directory is the directory you want to mount the drive on
(ie, /disk2)
mount /dev/dsk/DRIVE-ADDRESS directory
Add the new drive to your /etc/vfstab file.
(ie. /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0 /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0 /disk2 ufs 1 yes - )

How do I use my second hard drive for storage, not back up?

Hi, I bought a second hard drive to store files (not back-up for my system), but when I moved some files over to drive two and then deleted the same files from drive one, they also deleted from the 2nd drive! Fortunately I could reverse the process and there was no loss, but what now? How do I disconnect the two so I can use the second as storage?
Thanks and happy Easter for those of you who celebrate it. Kate (Porter)

Whilst I normally drag files around, a copy and paste still should have created a replica on the destination drive.
That the second is mounted internally makes my describing it as an external drive inaccurate, but wouldn't cause the problem.
So that still leaves the scant possibility that the original source is itself an alias.
Was the copy and paste done in a Finder window or was it done via some other application's window?
I look forward to an update on this unusual event.

How do I reformat the second hard drive in the Mac Mini Server (Late 2012)?

In Disk Utility, I don't see the second hard drive, I only see the SSD that I installed myself in the main boot drive. How do I gain access to reformat the second drive?

Did you reinstall the OS after you installed the SSD?
If so it would have created a Fusion drive that looks like one drive.
If you go to System Report, what shows under the SATA bus? You should see both the SSD and the HD if it is recognized to some degree.

How do I partition my second Hard Drive

I am wondering why my second hard drive that apple installed on my mac wont partition for use with windows.
I tried to partition the drive via Boot Camp Assistant and when I tell it to partition it sits there for hours saying its partitioning. I tried restarting and trying again. It just wont complete.
My next step was opening the disc utility and selecting the second hard drive and clicking partition. It still doesn't work. I get an error message saying
"Partition failed with the error: Filesystem resize support required, such as HFS+ with journaling enabled"
I took screen captures of the steps I took that are in these links

http://gallery.me.com/calaberator/100029/Picture-207.jpg?derivative=medium&sourc e=web.jpg&type=medium&ver=12205459000001
It won't let me partition the disc. Does anyone have any recomendations?

Okay!
Disk Utility is... weird ever since Leopard, and BootCamp Assistant... fine for iMac or MacBook but not as flexible as I like.
Sometimes you just have to restart Disk Utility, or at worst, restart. Sometimes after resizing partitions and such, you really do want to restart before using those partitions.
I've seen Disk Utility "lose communication" with a drive.
I don't like to use the last part of a drive.... for anything, it is the slowest inner tracks and less than half the performance.
If you don't have anything on it that you need and that is backed up, I would just go to Partition tab and start over.
Personally, I like to strip a drive of all partition tables and format it in Windows. Or set it as Master Boot Record, then create a couple FAT partitions which works for Vista installs but not for XP.
Vista needs at least 40GB and you want to leave room to add applications, restore points, and room for updates (a 500MB 'update' can unpack, write temp files, and use much more, as much as 7-10GB for Vista SP1 update, which you get back most of afterwards. And 2-3x the amount of RAM for pagefile and hibernation.
Try again, restart if necessary, and it really should.
When a drive is first formatted, it writes partition tables and has to test the first and last 100 sectors plus where the GPT and EFI partitions go, which shouldn't take more than 2 minutes. More than that, just kill it, quit Disk Utility and try again.
If you have never used the drive, consider doing a full zero-all from security options to erase it after you have it partitioned.

Can I make a second libary on a second hard drive and how do I switch back and forth

I woud like to creat a second libary for itunes on a second hard drive. I am using the latest itunes and lion on my imac and how do I switch back and forth.

Yes. You can.
Start iTunes with the Option depressed and that will allow you to select the library.

Add a Second Hard Drive to a Pavilion 500-314 Desktop

I have just purchased a Pavilion 500-314 desktop and desire to add a second SATA hard drive from the computer it is replacing. When I open the case I find four SATA connections but nowhere to physically mount the second hard drive. The drive bay is large and basically empty with the included hard drive mounted to the drive bay cage. There are no slots for additional drives. When I called HP I was told this chassis supports only one drive even though it has four SATA connectors on the motherboard. Is there an adapter that can be purchased to create additional slots or am I out of luck with additional internal drives?

Hi,
Few weeks back, one user decided to go to a hardware store to buy brackets himself and problem solved. You may want to follow his method.
Regards.

I had a second hard drive added to my Mac Pro. How do I format it and not effect my orginal hard drive?

I had a second hard drive added to my Mac Pro. How do I format it and not effect my orginal hard drive?

Just format it with Disk Utility as mentioned above. Select the new disk on the list at the left. Click the erase tab. Specify Mac OS Extended (Journaled) if not already specified and give the disk a name of your choice. Then click the erase button.
That's the simplest way to format a disk with a single partition (volum). If you want to create multiple volume (partitions) then click the Partition tab instead of Erase. You can then use then specify a number of volumes and size each volume by specifying its size or just dragging the slider in the bootm right of each partition. Give each a name as before and again Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Click Apply button to create the partitions.
Since you appear to be new at this just "play" with the erase and partition settings so you can become comfortable with them. So long as you have the new disk selected on the left you can't really hurt anything since it's a new disk and no data to loose. You can always go back and erase it back to a single partition.

Installing a second hard drive in my HDX16 - Manual says yes, but I don't see a slot

Hello,
My HDX16-1200 manual says I can support a second hard drive, however I opened up the computer and do not see a spot to mount the drive.
Does anyone know where the second disk gets installed?
Thanks.

I've been finding some great instructions on how to install a second hard drive in my PowerMac G5, but been unable to find some instructions on steps after that that assist my low tech-intelligence quotient. I'm planning on getting a Western Digital 750GB Caviar SE16.
Basically my questions are:
1) Once I've installed a second SATA internal hard drive, do I have to wipe the entire contents of my first hard drive and reformat the Mac completely? Or can I just format that second hard drive and have it work seamlessly with my current configuration?
2) I understand I can partition a second hard into more than one volume. I'd like to be able to use the second internal drive, but also have the increased reliability of RAID. Can I create a RAID array on that drive as well? How might I do this without screwing up?

Using the second hard drive in my G5

I bought my Mac about 14 months ago with twin 250GB hard drives fitted. I wanted to use the second hard drive to store my CD collection through itunes.
I have tried to install itunes on the second hard drive but the software installer says it has to go on the startup volume. I have also tried copying my itunes folder and pasting it to the second hard drive as a backup but it won't allow this either. It says that the drive cannot be modified.
How do I use the second hard drive as intended? I upgraded to Tiger so do I need to install that on the second hard drive?
Thank you.

Hi Mike;
I have a 250 GB and a 160 GB hard drive in my Quad. A long time ago when I had much smaller drives, I did move Users to another disk because I was running out of space on my system drive. One of the problems I ran into with this was when my second drive with Users on it didn't start quickly enough for OS X. OS X created a new Users for me with nothing in it. It was a royal pain getting my system pointed back to the Users on the second drive.
What I do now is leave Users where OS X installs. I now move just my project files, music, photos and web pages. I find that this is largest part of Users. It is also the part of Users that I am the most concerned about. With all of my project files on another drive, the system is able to access data from both drives very quickly. It also makes backup simpler.

Installing a second hard drive in g5

hi. i just bought a 400 GB hitachi desk star hard drive to install as a second drive in my G5. i slid it in the alloted slot and plugged in the corresponding cables. when i powered up my computer i went to disk utilities and it showed no new drives. anybody know what i'm doing wrong?
also, i couldn't find and screw holes or anything to secure the drive in the slot that's there for it. any way to keep the drive from wiggling all around in there?

[Fwd: Creating an ODBC Driver with Forte]

Has anyone created an ODBC driver with Forte? The Microsoft ODBC
Software Development Kit (SDK) assumes that ODBC drivers will be
developed in C. I would like to write the driver in Forte TOOL. Even
though C++ code can be generated from TOOL code, I am not certain that
the generated C++ code will conform to the ODBC API, and be compatible
with other ODBC components, such as the ODBC Driver Manager, ODBC
Installer, and ODBC Test applications supplied by Microsoft with the
ODBC SDK. Any advice would be appreciated. (The purpose of my ODBC
driver is to enable data access by any ODBC client application, using
calls to Forte service objects to retrieve and process the data before
it is sent to the client application.)

The following is extracted from Oralce's Metalink: (sorry lost the link)
"This is an NLS related issue. The ODBC driver uses the values derived from the NLS_LANG setting from the Oracle Home where the driver is installed.
The application actually uses the number setting from the NT Regional Settings.
When these two settings differ, then the decimal character will be cut off. This behaviour is also described in Bug:694323.
Example:
You have set your NLS_LANG in the ORACLE_HOME of your ODBC driver to GERMAN_GERMANY.WE8ISO8859P1. This will result in a value for the NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS of ",." (the first part of the NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS being the decimal character and the second part being the group separator).
So the "." is used by the Application and the "," is used by the Oracle ODBC driver.
As a result numeric values in your Oracle Database with an integer and a decimal part will thus be displayed by the application without the decimal character, i.e. a value of 10,734 will be displayed as 10734 a value of 0,123 will be displayed as 123.
To fix this, you will either have to correct the character used for the Decimal Symbol of your NT Regional settings to match the value of your Oracle NLS_LANG setting or vice versa. To change the value for NLS_LANG, go to your registry and change the NLS_LANG parameter that is situated under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE/HOMEnnn/NLS_LANG where HOMEnnn is the home where your Oracle ODBC driver is installed."
Hope this helps, resolved our issue with this problem.
