How to verify a Scheduled Backup?
First, thanks for making SD with easy GU backups.
Second: what is the best way to verify that my 4am scheduled backup to my G5's second drive is working? Currently, I have it set so that my G5 turns on at 4am every morning. At 4:10am, I have a SDuper scheduled Smart Update backup that goes to a second drive. When I show up in the office about 6am, I'm never sure if SD backed up. So far, I can open up SD, and check the Show Log button, but is that the only way? Also, when I do check the log, I can't see a date, so I'm not sure which day the text is referring to. thanks for any tips on this. tuqqer PS, in case someone asks, and it's helpful, here's what the log is showing: | 04:10:23 AM | Info | SuperDuper!, 2.0.1 (76), path: /Applications/SuperDuper!.app, OS: 10.4.3 (8F46) | 04:10:23 AM | Info | Source Drive: TigerTop, mount: /, device: Maxtor 6B300S0, interconnect: Internal ATA, file system: "Journaled HFS+", OS: 10.4.3 (8F46), capacity: 279.36 GB, used: 84.18 GB, directories: 87152, files: 386854, ejectable: NO, ACLs: Disabled | 04:10:23 AM | Info | Target Drive: Backup Drive, mount: /Volumes/Backup Drive, device: ST3160023AS, interconnect: Internal ATA, file system: "Journaled HFS+", OS: 10.4.3 (8F46), capacity: 128.93 GB, used: 83.81 GB, directories: 87387, files: 387748, ejectable: NO, ACLs: Disabled | 04:10:23 AM | Info | Copy Mode : Smart Update | 04:10:23 AM | Info | Copy Script : Copy Docs,Pics,Desktop.dset | 04:10:23 AM | Info | Transcript : BuildTranscript.plist | 04:10:24 AM | Info | PHASE: 1.
