Sources and Destinations
So now you have one or more scripts set up: the next step is to determine which files will be copied,
and where they’ll go. The process is similar for backups, bootable backups, and synchronizations;
however, there are enough differences among them that we’ll look at each separately.
As used here, a “source” is the location of files to be backed up, put into a bootable backup, or
synchronized. A “destination” is where copies of the files will go.
Backups are the most flexible in terms of sources and destinations. You can define multiple backup
sources, for example to duplicate the contents of several folders, or even several network volumes,
to one destination. Backup sources don’t have to be on computers running Mac OS X: in fact, they
don’t have to run any operating system at all. That means you can back up from an external disk,
network volume, memory stick, iPod, or any other Mac OS X-readable medium in addition to
computer drives. Further, you can back up to any Mac OS X-writable medium.
You can synchronize from any folder or volume to any folder or volume. But unlike in a backup,
you can’t synchronize individual files, or synchronize from multiple sources.
A bootable backup is the most specific type of action, as its source must be an entire disk or
volume that contains a bootable copy of Mac OS X, and its destination must be a medium that can
be booted. (Intego Backup Manager Pro does not create bootable backups on DVDs.)
