File Placement Questions

[Paint Guy]

Dave, I am thoroughly impressed with Super Duper's ease of use and the job it did.

A couple of questions

1. There were a few MB of data that Super Duper didn't backup. My LaCie which I wrote from was 111.78 GB and when I checked what Super Duper copied to the Backup HD it said. 111.72 GB that's a discrepancy of 6 mb of data. I am not concerned but why the difference?


2. I selected "Click to allow copying without password authentication".
If I require password authentication on all files then what would happen if I tried to use the files on another mac or a new mac if mine packed it in? I wouldn't be allowed to access any files would I?


3. I think I will unmount the Backup Hard Drive and then only write my files to the LaCie, then on Fridays I can hook up the Backup Drive and write any new files to it.
I guess the Scheduler is something I can try too but it's probably not a good idea to leave the Backup HD attached and spinning if I am not going to write to it is it.


Thanks
