![]() ![]() I do have a copy of the backup utility that comes with the very early Apple Tape Backup 40SC and that certainly works on System 6, but I think that is machine specific and will only work with that Tape Drive.Ĭlick to expand.I just want to make sure that I understand. I don't know of any shareware programs that would do the same job. With luck someone here may know the answers to those two questions. ![]() It's well worth doing some research into whether the early versions do work with System 6 because it's ideal for what you want to do. I will check on version compatibility for version 3.0 though. I certainly know that version 3.0 came out in the mid 90s so you'd probably need to be looking for versions 1.0 - 2.0 for compatibility with 6. It is a commercial product and would therefore need to be purchased, probably through something like eBay if you can find the right version number. However, knowing how good the software is, I wouldn't be at all surprised if it did backup invisible files and did have a version that worked on System 6.x. It would certainly do what you're asking, but I'm not sure whether 1/ it backs up invisible files, I'd have to check one of my own manuals for it, and 2/ I'm not sure they did a version that would work on System 6. Retrospect backup software has been around since the mid 80's and at one point probably had the market share of Apple based backup products. Not sure I can answer your question specifically but I can tell you what I've always used for backups on Mac OS and have always been very happy with what it does. I tried several other similar word combinations as well.) (I searched the forums and couldn't find very much for or. I do know that I've spent a little time getting to know System 6, installing software, etc, and I'd hate to start over or spend a lot of time recovering if this 20-year old hard drive fails on me (I have a backup 40MB drive waiting to replace it, if it does).Īny help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated. I've never used System 6 and was never responsible for backing anything up when I did use System 7 and 8 many years ago, so I have no idea how to go about doing this. I've read that there are problems with simply dragging the hard drive onto the Zip Drive on the desktop, because restoring the hidden files when copying everything back manually isn't possible, and missing those hidden files can cause issues with some extensions. Short version: I'd like to know if something like Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper for Mac OS X exists for System 6. perhaps boot from a floppy with the restore software on it and have it copy everything back (bit-by-bit, if possible) from the Zip Disk to the new hard drive. Ultimately, I'd like the software to be capable of restoring from the Zip Disk, so that a total loss of my hard drive would require me to install a new one, format/initialize it, and. ![]() I've got a Macintosh SE (4MB memory, 40MB hard drive, SuperDrive floppy, attached 100MB Zip Drive) and I'd like to know if there is something that will back the entire contents of the hard disk (hidden files included) up to a Zip Drive. I'm looking for a backup & restore solution for System 6.0.8. ![]()
