Can you update a drive over the network?
Hello
I have clones of every drive i use, and i was wondering if could update them over the network via ethernet while houses inside a old PPC G4 mac. Is this possible? |

You can update an image over the network, but not directly to a drive.

I am confused here now., excuse me, are you saying that i can not update a drive directly?
In my last post i was speaking of my iMac connected to 2 USB devices and smart update (resuming) a drive that crashed, this i assume is directly. Am i confusing 2 different processes here? After i cloned the drives (USB or FW) i plan to house them in a PPC mac which can hold over 8 drives on a ATTO PCI card, then fire the CPU up when i need to update over the Ethernet network or wireless. Thought i mention details since it matter i guess., Do let me know if i missed something here (sounds like it) Cheers Mike |

You cannot update the drive directly over a network, correct.

If you didn't write to an image, yes; writing directly to the drive can't be updated. See the "Airport Disks" post at the Shirt Pocket Watch blog...
