Anybody have any experience with RsyncX?

Installed fine, seems to have run fine when I made a bootable archive from a Bootable source. Just so you know, both sources are the exact same Lacie 80 gig drive.

Anyhow, when I try and boot from the backup I get the message "Waiting for Network file system" and it just hangs there, won't finish booting.

I am running RsycX v2.1, OSX 10.3.5, LaCie 80gig Firewire drive on a PM DP1.25

I attached an image of the RsyncX Screen as it was set to create the archive

Any advice would be appreciated

Thanks

I'm with Coolvirus007. I use Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) myself (available here (http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html)), and it's never failed to make a clone that would boot my system.

Thanks to both of you.

CCC works like a charm, easily worth $5
