utility program. The problem may be
avoided by disabling the utility
program during backups, if possible,
just for the backup drive. For example,
it is possible to disable Norton
FileSaver for just the backup drive
while leaving it available for other
drives. Go into the FileSaver program
and uncheck “Update disk directory
info” and “Track Deleted File/Folders”
for the backup drive.
I replaced my internal drive with the
backup drive and now none of my
aliases work.
Try renaming the backup drive to have
the same name as the original source
drive.
If you have a lot of aliases on your
drive, the aliases may break on
backups because they will point to the
original source drive, which is no
longer present.
If you rename your backup drive to
the original source drive’s name, the
aliases may work and point to files on
the backup drive. When restoring from
the backup drive to the source drive or
replacing the source drive with a new
drive it is important for the restored
drive to have the same name as the
original source drive, after the restore
is completed.
I can’t use my backup drive to start up
from a different Macintosh.
If you can’t start up from your backup
drive after moving it to a different
Macintosh, it may be necessary to
update or upgrade the MAC OS on the
backup drive before it will be possible
to start up from it. This may also work
if the backup was incomplete.
