Leopard backup boots, but apps crash? Try this.

[limsilas]

script worked like a charm after i ran it: all my apps on my clone now actually work.

but do i need to continue to run this script after every backup?

as a side note, my applications only started failing once i switched backup drives. it also prevented carbon copy cloner clone applications from running as well...

what exactly does the script do? does it fix pre-binding on the clone or the "home" system? i know utilities like onyx fix pre-binding...

Until our next update comes out, you do need to run the script after every copy (which is why you set it as the 'after copy' script -- it'll happen automatically.

It fixes prebinding on the copy, not on the home system.

hi david,

i'm curious as to why this is happening now when it did not occur about a month ago, and the only variable that has changed is my external drive?

also, would it be possible to fix the pre-binding on my home system, and have that "fixed pre-binding" transfer over onto the clone, thus eliminating need for the script?

i don't mind running the script after each clone; i'm mainly curious as to why this is occurring in the first place.

[dnanian]

I don't know why it's suddenly started happening: it doesn't happen to me, and hasn't happened on any of my test systems. It's clearly some unusual change in Leopard, but I don't know what it might be -- I only know that re-prebinding on the destination resolves the issue.

No, fixing the prebinding on the source doesn't do it, unfortunately. It has to be done post-copy, on the destination.

oh, i remember what's changed on my end since last superduper-ing: 10.5.3.

anyone have this issue in 10.5.2?

[dnanian]

Yes, nearly all of the thread -- above -- is pre-10.5.3.

Hi there...

Some things are a little cloudy to mee.

See my situation:

1.I've made a disk image backup into a external drive.
2.Booted with Mac OS 10.5.1 Leopard DVD and put Disk Utility to work.
3. Selected Open->Image and then selected the backup image on my external drive.
4. Mounted the backup image on external drive
5. Selected it as source and then erased my local Hard Drive
6. Told disk Utility to clone


After I booted up, nothing is running with exception of Opera, neither Firefox, Safare, Activity Monitor, Terminal, even superduper.

How can this script be applied to my case?

Thanks a lot!

I'm really desperate here, just cant work right now.
