Back up HD"s with different names

Post by Karanight »

In the past when I made a back up an then tried it out, I had to name the back up with the same name as the original HD, but I've just done a back up and tried it forgetting to give it the same name and kjams read it. Is the normal
The original the kjams normally reads is called ultramax, and the back up was called back up.

yup

until i get "search paths" pref working, you're stuck with having to have the EXACT same file paths to your songs.

if you're unix savvy (or you have PathFinder) you can create a Symbolic Link (NOT an alias) in the /volumes folder that has the old name and points to the new name.
