I've managed to get Leopard running fine with all of my hardware..

 

The only issue is I am not able to get TM working with one extra internal hard drive.

 

It is formatted using the MBR schema

 

diskutil list output :

/dev/disk0
  #:					   TYPE NAME					SIZE	   IDENTIFIER
  0:	 FDisk_partition_scheme						*298.1 Gi   disk0
  1:			   Windows_NTFS						 39.1 Gi	disk0s1
  2:			   Windows_NTFS stuff				   195.3 Gi   disk0s5
  3:				 DOS_FAT_16						 63.7 Gi	disk0s6
/dev/disk1
  #:					   TYPE NAME					SIZE	   IDENTIFIER
  0:	 FDisk_partition_scheme						*279.5 Gi   disk1
  1:				  Apple_HFS backup				  279.5 Gi   disk1s1
/dev/disk2
  #:					   TYPE NAME					SIZE	   IDENTIFIER
  0:	 FDisk_partition_scheme						*279.5 Gi   disk2
  1:				  Apple_HFS Leopard				 279.5 Gi   disk2s1

 

TM is configured to use volume "backup" but every time I am trying to run a backup, I am getting the following error message :

The backup volume could not be found.

 

does anyone had this issue before ? were you able to get a fix for it ?

 

thanks !

I find time machine completely useless if you use filevault.

 

Instead I use duplicity which does full or incremental backups and supports gnupg and rsync and amazon s3. You can backup to a director, an external disk, another machine via ssh, amazon s3 or a ftp site.

 

Basically I generate a gnupg key for each account or machine I want to backup... backup that key in a safe place. then do daily incremental and full back every week or month depending on the volume size, etc.

 

I backup to a ssh box and for certain important directories I backup to amazon.

 

The backup is encrypted and safe.
