Slab_Bulkhead Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I have Kalyway's Leopard 10.5.1 running very well on my PC, and I thought I'd try to restore to another drive from Time Machine just for kicks and grins. The target drive has plenty of room to spare and is formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled), the same as the original drive. However, when the restore reaches 95.6% complete, the process just hangs. I've tried this several times, using the ToH install disk, with the same results. Anyone else had this problem? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casemon Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Not the same exacty, but Finder crashes when I launch the Time Machine app... the backup part appears to be working though. Nice nick, btw... I should have gone with Chunk Beefsteak! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peach-os Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Didn´t do a backup with timemachine yet, but had a similar issue with migration assistant using a timemachine backup. after a while I found a solution...... opent the logs and look for an according timemachine file - maybe you will find a hint to the app that´s causing this trouble. if you can´t find some log, wait until it stops again,don´t quit,open the activity monitor and kill one process after the other (you know which you shouldn´t touch) until the backup will continue. for me it worked great in my case it was the realtek w-lan app - good luck!

Slab_Bulkhead Posted January 13, 2008 Author Share Posted January 13, 2008 But I was trying to do the restore from the ToH install disk, so I don't think any other apps would be running... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peach-os Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 oh....ok you wrote it what could also help is to unplug all devices that you don´t need, I´m pretty sure that its stopped by something. I experienced once an ntfs drive causing trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
