Thurletta Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 Amy, My 5.1 Retrospect upgrade came a few days ago, but I have not installed it...still trying to get used to this new dual-boot G4 that runs both 9.2.2 and 10.3. I plan to continue backing up with ZIP disks and this is possible because an Adaptec PowerDomain 2930 makes my SCSI ZIP drive (and scanner!) usable in OS X. I read some posts in the installation group here, especially the one from the guy with two hard drives, one running 9 and the other running X, and that's when I got confused. If I install 5.1 into X, will everything on the dual-boot G4 be backed up? There are two system folders, for example. The drive is not partitioned, but I also have an uninstalled copy of of TechTool Pro 4 that has some kind of emergency boot "partition," I am told. This probably should have been posted in the installation section here, but this is one newsgroup that I receive and I'm too rushed to subscribe to another. Thanks in advance for your reply.

AmyJ Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 Hi Thurletta You should install and run Retrospect in OS X to ensure that both OS X and OS 9 are properly backed up. As long as your backup source is the hard drive both systems will be covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
