First o...The instructions above are slightly wrong. First off ifconfig| grep en0 DOES NOT return your MAC address. The address listed is actually your ipv6 ip address. (You'll notice that the format does not match. A MAC address looks like "00:00:1F:12:82:92" whereas an IPv6 address looks like "fe80:3615:9eff:fe09:94".<br /><br />To get your MAC address just type "ifconfig | grep ether". If more than one is listed then generally speaking the first one is if you're using a wired network connection and the second is a wireless connection. If you have more than that then you are doing something interesting and probably know which one to pick.<br /><br />Second the hdiutil command issued does not create a sparsebundle! The correct command is "hdiutil create –size 200g –fs HFS+J -type SPARSEBUNDLE –volname “ Backup” _.sparsebundle". Otherwise you may get a disk full error like I did if the size you choose is bigger than the size on your mac hard drive.<br /><br />As far as the size to choose make it at least about 1.5 times the size of your hard drive. This will give it enough space to backup your entire hard drive and then include history. There is no harm in going with more space because then more history will be available to you but I would say that's a minimum.Confuzyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15099724314475715967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453126.post-30237695494426916922011-03-21T06:10:42.841-07:002011-03-21T06:10:42.841-07:00What's all the babble about "right-click&...What's all the babble about "right-click"-lessness?
