SilverKeeper is a freeware application from LaCie that automates Backups to external storage devices like hard disks optical disks, and other removable storage devices that have IDE, ATAPI, SCSI, USB, or Firewire interfaces. Essentially any read/write device that can mount on the Macintosh Desktop can be used with SilverKeeper. What's New: Version 1.1.2: Changed user interface to inform user of volume limitations for backup. SK now checks Source and Destination for limitations of file name length, file size, Ownership/Permissions support and notifies the user as best as possible before performing a backup. When backing up to external drive best disk format is Mac OS Extended. There can be problems when external drive uses other formats: FAT 32 the following characters may not be used in file or foldernames:? [ ] / = + ; : ", | * 4GB is maximum file size, however some operating systems may limit this to 2GB. Macintosh files may not be copied correctly if there are resource and data forks, or custom icons Windows, Linux, or Unix shares: the above character limitations for FAT32 volumes apply the destination volume may not preserve permissions information refer to server documentation for other file, folder name and maximum file length limitations Changed user interface to ask user to setup options for creating OS X bootable volume. This involves turning off "Copy Set to Folder" if set and requiring the target volume to be empty. This prevents user from losing any existing data on the target volume during backup. Implemented new magic folder "SilverKeeper_noRemove" in backup destination. Folder and file names in the destination that are listed in this folder will not be removed. Normally SilverKeeper backup result will be that the Destination will mirror the Source. If a file or folder is listed in this magic folder, it will be ratined across backup operations, even when removed from the source. Fixed backup of OS X 10.3.x Boot volume to mark the volume as bootabl |  |
