Using Impression to archive files to a disk image or an external drive (FireWire, USB, iPod, etc.)

This document is divided into the following sections:


Instructions

To archive files to a disk image on a mounted hard drive instead of a set of optical discs, follow the instructions listed here, though in 'Step 3' use the backup options sheet to select 'Disk Image' instead of a CD or DVD disc for the session's 'Archive files to' destination. Alternatively, the 'QuickPrefs' popup button can be used to select an appropriate choice that will cause files to be archived to a disk image (i.e. - 'Plain-file to Image').

When the backup is run, you'll first then be asked for the location to which you want to save the archive's disk image. Select a folder on any previously-mounted drive. The backup session will then target that destination. The backup session will then run normally and at the end of the process, a disk image will be saved to the location you chose.


Troubleshooting

There are no troubleshooting notes available at this time.
