SD and Time Machine

Hi,

Simple question here...

When I'm running from the sandbox (which is most of the time) Is Time Machine backing up the sandbox or the drive it's a clone of?

Seems to me that if it's backing up the sandbox that wouldn't be much good if there were a problem because doing a restore to my actual drive would be full of aliases.

Does SD direct time machine to backup the root or sandbox?

Thanks

Wayne

It's backing up both, most likely, unless you told it not to back up a drive.

I see said the blind man

Dave,

Yes your right I have excluded every drive but my HD-Backup which is what I make the sandbox from. Do you see any reason to include the sandbox to the time machine backups?

Thanks for your very quick response.

Wayne

I can't think of any particular reason to, no.

Thanks Dave

I love SuperDuper and am really glad you've made it compatible with Leopard.
I think I may be one of your best salesman (to my friends anyway)

Thanks for the great support.

Wayne

wayne,
FWIW, I turn off Time Machine while using SD (Smart BU or Sandbox). Then when SD finishes, turn TM back on. This way I think I'll not have any confusion re. by backups.

Just an idea...

Appreciated, Wayne! It's always better when positive comments come from objective 3rd parties.

Tuni -- that wouldn't really apply to his situation, since he's wondering what TM is doing when it's on, as opposed to having some conflict with SD! itself.
