I read on CCC forum that Panther installs a new PERL, which prevents backup utils based on this to function, including PSYNCX and DejaVu. Have .Mac but beta 2.0 was a disaster in Jaguar burning to dvd or internal drive...any suggestions of a succesful regular scheduled backup would be most appreciated. i.e. would like to schedule nightly sync entire drive with encrypted disc image on second internal ATA drive.

I believe there is a new Panther compatible version of CCC out.

This is what I couldn't understand from reading Mike's site, no where does he state it's compatible...anyone actually try the latest version of CCC to schedule a back-up a newly created Panther drive?

I'm running CCC 2.3. It seems to work fine in Panther.

However, I had a scary moment after I first cloned my drive. I got a couple of errors when I cloned. Sure enough, when I tried to boot to the cloned drive, it refused to boot up. I had to physically remove my backup drive in order to force the other drive to boot up. Then I was able to reset it to the be boot drive.

Anyway, once I checked the permissions and wiped the backup drive I recloned it and now it seems to be fine. I have CCC set up to clone every monday, so we will see if the regular backup regime works again. But I see no reason why it shouldn't.

CCC 2.3 is compatible, here are the new things:

-------------

What's New:
Version 2.3 adds the following:

When CCC blesses the target drive it now generates the BootX file using the booinfo data from the source (as opposed to using the booinfo file from the boot drive, which may have a different/older version of the OS). Other minor enhancements in how CCC blesses the target.

CCC can now use disks with custom mount points (i.e., disks that are not mounted at /Volumes)

Fixed a bug with NetBoot image creation in which the capacity of the image was allowed to exceed 50GB (which causes NetBoot to fail without an appropriate error message)

One minor change for better compatibility with Panther

There is now an interface for setting the pre/post-action scripts and the list of cache files that are deleted at the end of a clone

ASR-ready disk images are now flattened for better hosting compatibility on non-Mac web servers

The "Darwin links" and empty folders are now created by default when a "System" directory is present on the Target disk -- their creation is not linked to the "Make bootable" option.

Minor bug fixes for G5 compatibility

Thank you all! Just cloned and booted up from one of the three partitions on a Maxtor 60GB ATA (internal secondary drive) after installing 2.3 on my boot Apple Drive (G4 Quicksilver 933 1024 Ram). Even the schedule worked and amazingly fast 11 Gb in about 20mins. Flawless mail, internet, printing everything works! I had been syncing my entire drive to an encrypted disc image with psyncX until now...I think I've found a new and perhaps better solution given the problems with the new PERL which I noticed on CCC website is the reason behind sync option not working with CCC....I will definately sleep better tonight.

rsync still works

TriBackup is fine.
