Scheduling wakeup and sequential backups to different targets
Hi Dave,
SuperDuper currently does a daily backup for me as follows: 1) I scheduled my iMac (in System Preferences) to wake from sleep in the wee hours of the morning. 2) About a minute later, SD is set to back-up all files on the internal drive volume using smart update. It backs-up to a volume on an external FW drive. It is a bootable backup. 3) Upon completion of the backup, I've configured SD to quit. 4) After a bit more time, the iMac goes back to sleep All of the above works like a charm. Now, onto my question .... With growing storage needs, I've added a second external FW hard drive (in addition to the external drive I mentioned above). I will continue to use the internal iMac drive for system, applications and data. I still have a bootable backup scheduled for it as I described above. But in the new arrangement, a 3rd volume will house additional applications and data, and a 4th volume will be the backup for that 3rd volume. These two do not need to be bootable. I would like it to now work like this: 1) Wake-up iMac (as it does now) 2) Backup internal volume to its bootable backup volume (as it does now) 3) Progress directly to backing up volume 3 contents to volume 4. This is the new piece that I need help with. 4) Sleep the Mac (as it does now). In the iMac preferences, I can only schedule the Mac to wake once a night. So, I would like to configure SD to complete its normal nightly backup of the internal volume to volume 2. Then I would like it to continue directly to backing up volume 3 to volume 4. Can you help? Thanks Dave. |
