Restore mirrored set with disk utility

It is possible to create mirrored set of 2 arrays without destroying the data stored in one of the arrays?

I don't think you'll need another computer or eight hours of downtime. You didn't mention the size of your internal drive but I'd assume the 300gb external will hold it all. I'll also assume the external is a firewire drive, if it's not none of this will work.
This is what I would do:
1. Download Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper to clone your remaining raid slice to the external 300gb drive, and make sure to check the "make bootable" box.
2. In System Preferences set your startup disk to the external.
3. Restart from the external.
4. Run disk Utility to reformat your internal drive. At this point you're going to need to decide wether or not to set it up as a raid again. I don't think I would.
5. Use Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper to clone the external back onto your internal drive.
6. System Prefs again to reset the startup drive to your internal.
7. Restart and you should be good to go, and you've got your first backup done on your external.
8. Devise and impliment a backup strategy. Do you need daily/weekly/monthly backups? You'll have to decide how much you can afford to lose if your main drive goes belly up. There are several programs that are easy to set up a backup schedule on, the above mentioned CCC and SuperDuper and a little app called Deja Vu which runs as a system preference pane, is very easy to set up and if I remember is free.
Now, I say all of this not knowing what you do with your external drive to begin with. I am guessing that the raid was set up as a mirror to be a backup if the drive had problems....which is exactly where you are. Personally I would just format it as one drive and backup to the external. If the internal does actually fail you'll still have all your stuff and can run from the external until you replace the internal.
Make sense? I know I rambled a bit but it's really easy.

  • Cant restore my macbook with Disk utility and my .dmg image

    My macbook would not boot anymore. Stuck on gray screen with apple logo, spinning wheel and a loading bar for a while after shutting off.
    I was able to get to Disk Utility in the recovery mode and, after a while, was able to make an image of my filesin an attempt to back them up.
    The .dmg was put on an external and i checked it on my imac, i could open the .dmg file and browse all my files from my macbook, so those are safe!
    After that i tried to wipe the SSD of my macbook and put the image back but that didn't work, also some resource is busy errors.
    After trying this a few times without succes i figured i'd try to do a clean install. This worked.
    My macbook air is working again but if Iuse Disk Utility in the recovery now and try and restore my image (.dmg file) it gives me Restore Failure; An error (-16) occured (resource busy) as well. I also tried to copy the dmg onto my macbook and run disc utility when booted into OSX. I open up the back up .dmg with Disk utility, then i go to my macbooks partition (Macontiosh HD) and use that as a destination and drag the mounted image as the source as shown on the image below. Am I doing something wrong here?
    Doing this i get an error as well: (-119,930,878) Resource busy as you can see.
    What can i do to get my image back on my macbook? Any 3rd party software?
    I considered just transferring the files after opening the .dmg file but this works only for documents and not for programs and settings of the default apps.
    I've looked all over the Internet and it seems more people have had this error but then with making the image, they also suggest unmounting the destination disk before trying to restore but my destination is Macintosh HD, i cant really unmount that can i?
    Thanks in advance!

    To make a clone, in the future you need to use a program like superduper or carbon copy cloner.
    Either program makes an identical clone while preserving certain system files and marking/indicating to OS X that the clone is bootable.
    Using Disk Utility to make a DMG was a good idea, but this will not yield a bootable image.
    If Disk Utility could do a 1:1 copy of everything, then people would be using it to rip/duplicate DVDs.
    But Disk Utility does not (it leaves out certain invisible/system files), hence it cannot duplicate/clone a hard drive or DVD.

  • Ok to use computer while restoring a drive with Disk Utility?

    Hey everyone,
    I'm backing up my HD onto an external by using Disk Utility's restore function. I was wondering if it was ok for me to use my computer during this process or if it'll screw up the process. I know it'll make it go slower, but I was wondering if that was the only draw back.
    Thanks alot!

    No, not is not wise. Run the program and than continue. I know this takes a while, yet wait until you go to Leopard, in which the average time is over 10 minutes. But, please do not interrupt Disk Utility.

  • "Create" button dim when attempting to setup mirrored RAID in Disk Utility.

    I'm trying to setup a mirrored RAID in Disk Utility (v10.5.6) in MacOS 10.4.11 on a PowerMac G5. I've got the System and all of my files on a 500 GB Seagate internal drive and I've added a blank 500 GB Western Digital internal drive to be the mirror. When I boot from the Seagate drive and run Disk Utility, I can follow all of the instructions for setting up a mirrored RAID (except the last instruction):
    1) Launch disk utility.
    2) Select my boot drive.
    3) Click on the RAID tab.
    4) Enter a RAID Set Name and select a Volume Format (Mac OS Extended Journaled).
    5) Drag a drive or volume to the set. Okay, I actually have a problem here, because if I drag the boot volume or drive to the set, nothing happens (it doesn't appear in the selection box). So I drag the blank volume to the set and it shows up in the selection box.
    6) Select RAID type (RAID Slice).
    7) Click the "Create" button.
    That's the step that I can't complete; the "Create" button is dimmed (grayed out, disabled). My boot drive isn't partitioned (it has just one volume), I've run Disk Utility to repair Disk Permissions before I attempted to set up the RAID, and both drives are formatted as "Mac OS Extended Journaled." The only potential cause I can think of is that the two drives I'm using, though they're both 500 GB drives, are from different manufacturers. I can't imagine that would make a difference though.
    Why is the "Create" button dimmed?
    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Scott

    Hi there,
    Thanks for your help!
    Your explanation makes sense. I've just recovered from a hard drive failure and although I'd backed up most of the files the night before, I still lost a day's worth of email and several days worth of other files. Mirroring appealed to me because then I'd always have a completely up-to-date copy of everything, but your bad experiences with it give me pause.
    Is there another backup strategy you can recommend that would give me really up-to-date backups of my entire boot volume?
    Thanks again!

  • Can I enlarge a RAID10 with Disk Utility?

    I have a 4TB RAID10 (4x2TB disks) created with Disk Utility. I also have 4x4TB spare disks. Can I enlarge the RAID10 to 8TB (4x4TB)?
    This post suggests that I can break each mirrored set, and replace each of the 2TB disks with 4TB, one by one, and end up with 2 mirrored sets of 8TB each.
    But is there any way to enlarge the STRIPED set of mirrored sets?
    I've also considered RAID5, but am scared of the "write hole" data rot issue. But I have the machine on a battery backup, so is this an issue?

  • How do you setup RAID 10 with Disk Utility?

    I read a post that indicated a Mac Pro user created two mirrors and then striped them with Disk Utility to create a RAID 10.
    I tried this but Disk Utiity will not allow me to stripe the two mirrors. I tried dragging and using the "+" button. In each case no RAID 10 could be created.
    Could someone list the exact procedure for creating a RAID 10 using Disk Utility?
    Thank you

    I have Mac OS X Build 8K1124 and I believe that came with my Mac Pro as I've not required a Mac OS X update via Software Update.
    Now, I have to honest, I'm not entirely sure that was the exact process. As you can appreciate I don't have another 4 drives to try this again so I'll do my best here.
    It's definitely right up until the part of making the mirrors and unmounting them, that I know for sure. What I don't remeber is what I had selected to get to the RAID tab to create the Stripe Set. I believe I had one of the mirror partitions selected, that is, either "disk5" or "disk6", which brought up the RAID tab that then allowed me to create the stripe set.
    I then created the set and then dragged the mirrors (I believe disk5 and disk6) into the set.
    If you can't do this can you let me know how your situation deviates?

  • Can Time Capsule hard drive be accessed with Disk Utility? I'm having issues...

    How does one mount , inspect , verify , and possibly repair a Time Capsule hard drive  with Disk Utility ?
    My 500Gb 1st gen Time Capsule  ( used wireless with Airport)  has quit backing up new data . ( iMac Core2Duo, Snow Leopard) .  TC  says it needs 238 Gb of available space, but only has 35 Gb available. So it quit doing new  incremental backup altogether. It's almost like it wants to start over.
    Airport connection seems good.  Time Capsule seems healthy enough ( for being 3.5 years old) .  I really dont want to lose the data on the existing backup.
    What is the nature of this glitch ?

    I'm sorry , LaP , but " Time Capsule become too full " is not the cause of my problem .
    In fact, I just got done pruning the iMac system hard drive a little  to free up some  10 Gb of new space , yet created only maybe 1-2 Gb of new data to archive. The TC had been doing regular daily backups without issue and Time Machine  was showing me stuff from about ten days back.
    The TC informed me it needed 235 Gb of space but only had 34 Gb available. That 235 Gb needed is totally in error.  My problem more resembles corrupt hard disk directories . Maybe Permissions ?  which is why I asked about using Disk Utility.
    Yes, I do need a newer larger TC, but pigs don't fly and money does not grow on trees to make tha happen. The backup I have now is fine and should work if I need to restore anything in the forseeable. New data will not be archived, alas.

  • Help with Disk Utility

    I have a removable usb flash drive that I've been using for a while. Occasionally I need to erase it with disk utility to remove all of the past information it has held. This time around though the drive doesn't seem to be created (I'm not sure if I'm saying that the right way or not).
    I've included a photo here:
    http://northeasternxposure.com/help/drive.png
    Normally there is the "983.0 MB VBTM . . ." drive with the "UNTITLED" one below it. As you can see the "UNTITLED" drive doesn't look like a drive, but has the icon of a document. And at the bottom it shows the capacity, yet none of it is available. This is why it won't mount. I've tried to redo it multiple times with no luck. Hopefully someone knows a setting or something that I should change to repair this problem.

    I went into Finder and it could still see the drive, yet not access it for some reason. So what I did was log out and then back in and everything was working fine again. I've got no idea why that problem had occurred, but thanks for the quick responses.
    And I always do remember to mark helpful and solved. Thanks!

  • Can I create a raid drive with disk utility

    I recently bought a 2TB seat gate external drive.
    I want to use this drive with time machieve as well as set it up as a raid drive to strode photos.
    Is this possible to do with disk utility?

    Hello
    you can not make any kind on RAID type with only one hard drive you need at least tow drive to perform a RAID volume
    then , hard drive utility can be use to perform software raid  ( Level 0 an Level 1 only )

  • Erasing ipod with disk utility is it worth a shot?

    My 2G ipod is frozen once again can't get it to mount or show up. just asks if I want to ignore or erase the disk or eject. Have tried all the usual tests and self diagnostics. Even tried the tapping on the right side. I'm running the HDD scan now. Just before this happened when it was still mounting I tried to reset and restore it but got a error and failure several times something about the disk . Has anyone had results with erasing the ipod disk with disk utility and then trying to restore and update.? I went to the apple store and they basically said time for a new ipod . It's well out of warranty but I figure its still worth a try erasing if disk utility might help. I already replaced the HD last year and just got a high output Newer battery for it last week so I don't want to give up yet.

    15 TiBook 1GHZ, I.25 dual G4 MDD,10G ipod   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Erasing seems to hang from the beginning in Disk utilty. I tried zeroing all data which takes longer but I've gotten disk utilty to get the progress bar to go about three quarters of the way and then it hangs. I also checked it with techtool pro and it was finding a lot of bad blocks in the scan.
    One time I got ipod updater to say it was restored but it wasn't really and I couldn't get the software updated. So I'm back at square one with trying erase with disk utilty but after more than a dozen attempts I'm beginning to think this is a lost cause for resurrecting this ipod HD . This is of course after I received a new extended battery for it last week made by Newer which is only good for 1G and 2G ipods.

  • I can no longer repair permissions with Disk Utility, v. 13

    After installing iTunes update 11.1, I can no longer repair permissions with Disk Utility, v. 13. When I attempt to repair Disk Permissions, there appear dozens of items showing that "Permissions differ on "Applications/iTunes.app....", then it says that it has been repaired. However, when I do a second or third repair immediately afterwards, I see the same thing again.

  • Creating a mp3 disk image with disk utility

    Hi,
    I'd like to create a mp3 disk image with disk utility. In the end I would like to have a mp3 disk that plays in various stero system and macs.
    But I want to add some additional files: a png file for a nice folder background of the dmg, a special image for the dmg, and some text files relating to the mp3s.
    Is this possible at all? Is there something I have to observe creating the dmg?
    Thanx for your help

    Is this possible at all? Is there something I have to observe creating the dmg?
    You need to know which file systems your "various stereo systems" understand. The default file system created on a diskimage when burning is a hybrid file system- HFS+, ISO-9660 with Rock Ridge, and Joliet with Rock Ridge.

  • So I may have messed up with disk utility.

    So I was messing around with disk utility and was partitioning out some of my hard drive. I then accidently quit disk utility part of the way through.  So now, part of it's partitioned out, but it wont show up.  And since I can't find it, I can't get rid of it.
