Problem transferring to setup new laptop
We got my wife's new Macbook Pro. Did a fresh backup in SuperDuper to a partitioned external HD, plugged it into the new laptop, selected that partition as the source for transferring stuff, and am getting an error message that the partition is a case sensitive file system while the new laptop is case insensitive.
So, now what do I do? Is there some way to create a new backup on the external hard drive that is case insensitive? Never seen this before. I upgraded her to High Sierra on the original machine a week ago hoping to avoid any compatibility issues with the file systems and now this. |

So...you formatted your backup as case sensitive?

well, apparently. But I've never seen that as an option. And this is interesting, it listed the partition holding my laptop's backup as case sensitive, as well. I brought up Disk utility on my laptop and my file system is case insensitive. So how am I ending up with backups that are case sensitive? I just attached the hard drive to my laptop and brought up SuperDuper and I don't see any case options. In the Advanced options tab, the only thing checked is to copy ACLs, which I did not enable. And I have no idea what those are.

It sounds like you must have formatted case sensitive. Can you send the log from the backup to me using the "Send to shirt pocket" button so I can see tie details, and we'll continue via support email once you've done that. Thanks.

thanks, just sent it. and just confirmed in Disk Utility/Info. On the line that reads "is case sensitive" the value is "no". So not sure how my backup is case sensitive.

You confirmed the source. But the destination has been case sensitive since September 9th, at least (that's as far back as I could go)...
