I use BounceBack Pro from CMS to back up files. All of a sudden, today it told me "major errors occurred" during backup. According to the log, there were a whole bunch of '35 errors. Most were in the /library/receipts/iMovie.pkg/Contents (and related) folders and It said there was no such volume. A later attempt found problems with the same folder, only to do with iphoto. I did upgrade both of those programs to the ilife versions earlier this week. also told
I checked the BounceBack log and found earlier errors from a backup of 3/19. This one had "57 errors) all in the "private/var/automount/Network/Local?NAME ..." files, ending with I/O error. What the heck is an I/O error -- I've seen that numerous times today but I don't know what it is. (Actually, it's telling me this is an error on my powerbook, which must have been mounted at the time of the backup. And a still earlier backup found some other issues, including problems with finding volumes ("no such volume). Those problems predate the ilife, plus upgrading to 10.3.3.
Can anyone offer any help? I'm perplexed (and upset too -- I'm pretty faithful about backing up and was not happy to discover that my major document file hadn't been backed up since March 5th!)
Oh -- and before upgrading to 10.3.3 earlier this week, I did run Disk Warrior and repaired permissions -- everything seemed fine then.

You may not like this; however, use Carbon Copy Cloner instead...I've yet to see any problems going that route...

I'll be trying that later today, as I've used that, too. (Since I already had the drive and it's very easy to use, I have kept up with this system for quite some time.) In the meantime, CMS is working with me, too -- I sent them the logs and tech support will call back later today.
I've discovered all kinds of gobblydygook in the console log, too. Much has to do with iphote and imovie, but the first bad backup was before those applications were installed. I'm really perplexed as to what could have gone wrong.

By the way, CCC works with Panther, doesn't it?

Now that I did the backup (worked great! Am going to check bootability next) -- I have this awful feeling from using this before that I was supposed to check "ignore permissions on this volume..."
Do I have to do everything over?
