Names of a volume and its image

[dnanian]

We don't actually set the name of the volume at all when copying, Aleksandar. If the name of the bundle is current, it's because that's what you named it. But when you restore from it, the name of the destination is retained... we don't touch it.

Well, the fact is that the name of the volume was changed. The name was not preserved. I restored the volume from the sparsebundle image using Disk Utilty. Is the Disk Utility that changes the name? Can the volume be restored by not using Disk Utilty?

Kind regards,
Alex

It's possible that Disk Utility changed the name (I have no control over what Disk Utility does)... I don't know whether there's a way to control what Disk Utility does, but in a quick look over the UI I don't see one.

Of course, you can just change the name after the restore...

Can SD restore sparsebundle images?

Sure. Open the image, select its mounted bundle and copy it like any other.

Ah, I see. Thanks. I will try to do so as your helpful answer suggests.

Kind regards,
