AppleShare Server: Drawbacks to Backing Up via Drag-Copy



Instead of using a backup utility, why not just drag-copy my AppleShare
file server files onto another hard disk?

If you drag-copy AppleShare files from one hard drive to another, you'll
lose all your access privileges. Use the AppleShare Administration disk
and do a Copy Volume from the menu. Other ways are to use DiskFit from
SuperMac, HFS Backup 3.0 from PCPC, or Retrospect 1.1 from Dantz
Development Corp. All four of these products retain the AppleShare access
privileges.
