*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0圆00000387c50' Parent Process: launchd Responsible:Īnonymous UUID: B45313DB-8D8C-650F-ECE5-16E8B9D4710B Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari I've probably had it crash 20 times in the last 2 days.
Many backup programs for the Mac do NOT do a great job at preserving metadata.I'm having the same issue with Safari 7 crashing, freezing and lagging. Before you buy any Mac Backup program, make sure it backups or copies ALL the metadata associated with EACH file (such as BSD Flag, ACLs, Extended Attributes, Lock Flag, permissions, resource forks). (Of couse, as a consumer, I would like to see a LOWER price). Both are a lot less expensive.Ĭonsidering that most programs that do drive recovery are historically expensive, I do not think that the price for Cop圜atX is unreasonable. If they are not, I would use Carbon Copy Cloner (donationware $5 or more) or SuperDuper ($28 or so). If these features are important to you, then consider buying Cop圜atX. It will copy a drive to MULTIPLE destination drives. It works under Linux, FreeBSD and Mac).Ģ.
(If you want a truly FREE solution for drive recovery, use a command line program like GNU ddrescue.
It will attempt to recover a damaged drive with bad blocks. I believe that SuperDuper and Carbon Copy Cloner can copy the Time Machine Drive (or Partition) when it does the clone in the block copy mode (or a bit for bit copy)īut I do see two advantages of Cop圜atX over its competition:ġ. Please correct me if I am wrong.Ĭop圜atX is not the only program that can copy your Time Machine Drive (or Partition). I don't think Cop圜atX gets around this limitation. So if you are trying to make a clone of your System drive, you cannot do a block copy of the drive but a file copy of your drive. But before ANY program can do a block copy (or a bit by bit copy) the drive must be UNMOUNTED. Even the free command line utility provided by Apple called asr can do a block copy of drives. Both SuperDuper and Carbon Copy Cloner can do that. I believe that some of the comments made below by the developers of Cop圜atX could be seen as a little misleading.Ĭop圜atX is NOT the only program that can do a block copy of a drive.
