    Copying OSX contents to new drive-help?

    PsyncX (available from VersionTracker) seems to work better than CCC. Just my opinion. (Note: I wrote PsyncX, but only because I really liked the way psync, the app that PsyncX is based on, works) David

    using tar to Backup applications

    You should try using PsyncX. I find that it works better than any other application out there (okay, I'm biased. I wrote the thing, but still ... It works fine!) Note: it is also free. David

    Backing up Jaguar

    You can try PsyncX (it is along the same lines as CCC). It is available from VersionTracker.com, but unalike CCC it doesn't cost anything at all. David

    Moving OS X to Other Hard Drive

    I just finished PsyncX which works along the same lines as CCC. It is based on the CLI app psync, but it doesn't cost anything at all. You can download it from http://www.VersionTracker.com or from my website http://sourceforge.net/projects/psyncx Let me know what you think, David

    Sure you can. You will need to change /etc/smb.conf a bit, but it is definitely possible. See the macosxhints.com website for a recent tutorial. David

    What to use for writing a _simple_ backup solution?

    My app is going to include a compiled version of psync. It will use the basic Apple Installer and install psync into /usr/local/bin/ The GUI I'm writing is basically an interface. It will allow people to test out psync, but I'm writing it mainly to allow people to schedule a cronjob that runs...

    What to use for writing a _simple_ backup solution?

    You can also use psync (which I recommend over ditto as it just copies files that have been changed). You can read my article here: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20020711091017747 I'm working on a GUI for psync right now (and it isn't very easy). I'll let everyone know when...

    Got a question about Jag 6c115?

    Hurray!!! Also, can you use letters to move down in the open/save dialogs? For instance, if I have a long list and I want to get down to the first W listing, can you push the 'w' key and have the selection move down to w? If so, I can finally use the Open / Save dialogs efficiently! David

    Sharing Folders in MAC OS X.2 (JAGUAR)

    Hang on, I'm confused. Do you already have a Samba server installed (does it come as a part of Jaguar?)? If so, I can't help (I'm using 10.1.5). If you don't have a Samba SERVER installed, then go to the link I gave you. David
