Sparse Bundle Users: How do you backup?

[Jeff Kirkland]

I’d thought about keeping events in separate bundles but I was constantly having panic attacks because the project would open with offline media because I’d forgotten to mount the right event bundle.

I’ll revisit it once Andreas’ x-files app comes out of beta as that supports defining and mounting the bundles required for a project.

Hadn’t seen that X-files program before, thanks for mentioning it. Looks like it could be pretty useful. Even just the part that creates and resizes sparse bundles looks much better than using Terminal all the time

I’ve updated the X-Files Pro Beta.

I now works till October 12th.

There are several little things updated under the hood.
One of the more obvious is that the user now can convert a sparse image to a sparse bundle, leaving the sparse image in tact to double check before removing it.
As mentioned all the sparse bundle stuff is free and doesn’t have a time limitation.
