Super Duper recovery onto a new hard drive
In the middle of my most recent backup - my computer's hard drive crashed. The backup did not complete and so it was not restored to a bootable state. I was running a smart update so the information from the previous backup is still on my external drive.
I just got a new hard drive in my machine. What is the best way to recover this data? If i copy the external drive onto my new hard drive using Super Duper will it screw up the new internal drive's "bootability" - this is obviously the drive that needs to run the computer. Please help asap. Thank you! natalie |

I have a similar problem
However, my SuperDuper wasn't running at the time. I have a backup from 6 June 2008 and I'm up and running on the new disk. I can read the backup volume but I can't boot from it nor can I repair permissions. I can't run SuperDuper to move the stuff back to my new drive, because SuperDuper is only on the backup and I get a special permissions error if I try to copy it back to the new hard drive.

OK. Sounds like you should clean install to the new disk, then -- when prompted to 'copy from another Mac' -- point it at the backup and it should bring in your applications and data.

Thanks, I'll try that.
