Evening all,
I have a MP with a time machine backup that grabs data from several drives as part of it's backup. Here's my drive setup
Drive 1 - 320Gb OS
Drive 2 - 1Tb scratch
Drive 3 - 2Tb Raid-1 with Drive4
Drive 4 - 2Tb Raid-1 with Drive3
So I backup all my data, it spans Drive 1 and the Raid-1 Drive which stores iPhoto, iTunes, documents and my home directories. Literally all on drive 1 at the moment is OSX, applications etc about 12Gb in total. I'm currently running lion if that's pertinent.
The same goes for my other half's setup, she's got a partition on Drive 1, and a folder on the Raid-1 setup.
So I've bought a 120Gb SSD which I want to replace the 320Gb with, make that an SSD boot volume. I've done standard restores from time machine after booting from DVD/Recovery, but now with my data spread across several physical disks is time machine not going to like that? I'm not looking to restore the data of anything bar the base OS that sits on Drive 1.
Is that feasible at all? Or will time machine state there's not enough space to restore onto my target drive - as all data is far > 120Gb.
Also will I have a headache that I've setup my user directories to be on Raid-1, iphoto etc post restore?
Thanks in advance
Si
