[missing-sync-palmos-talk] Re: Backup oddity (or not)

[Kyle Skrinak]

It appears there were two variables at play:

1) Backup via a third boot disk (so that source and target disks should have
no open files) and
2) Having the "Ignore Permissions" toggle set to false for the the source
and target disks.

After applying the above, upon startup from the mirrored boot drive, the
Missing Sync kext files worked without burping. My guess is that these files
are open (and thus locked) preventing a proper backup?

I was hoping that the very quick psync utility (compared to Retrospect)
would *also* let me backup while operating from my main boot disk.

Thanks for indulging my curiosity -- and setting this problem straight!

You don't want to help with a VPN issue I'm having? :)

Regards;
Kyle
