Hello, I normally use xhfs to read/write to my /dev/hda12 hfs partition. I want to write a short script to automate the copying of a backup I make daily and need to know how to use the hcopy command. I've read the man page and searched with google but there seems to be no explanation of how to do this. I try hmount /dev/hda12 it mounts the parition called "shared" In the current directory I try this but.... 19:57 joss:~ $ hcopy doc_backup /dev/hda12 hcopy: "doc_backup": no such file or directory 20:00 joss:~ $ I try this but... 20:00 joss:~ $ hcopy doc_backup "shared" hcopy: "doc_backup": no such file or directory I try this but it copies a directory called "shared" to the hfs volume. 20:01 joss:~ $ hcopy doc_backup ":shared" 20:01 joss:~ $ any ideas? It seems like it should be so easy. :-) Joss --
