James, I finally managed to get QRecall do to a capture of my entire hard drive. It took six or eight attempts, as it kept running into the Launch Services bug you mentioned. I wrote an AppleScript to open and close all subfoldes in a user-selected top-level folder, but that mostly didn't help, as most of the problem areas were inside packages, and the script wouldn't open package folders, so I had to do it manually.

Every time it crashed, I repaired the archive in-place (without copying to a new archive). Then I opened the "questionable" folders on my hard drive until I thought I had taken care of the problem that caused the latest crash, and then did a new capture. I now have an archive with a number of layers marked as "Unknown Zero KB -Damaged-", except for the latest layer, which is good. I'm currently merging all the layers, primarily just to see what happens. If I do a verify after that, and it checks out, then it should be safe to continue using, right? Although if I decided to toss this one out and do a fresh capture, it should work this time, since I've apparently fixed all the folders that were vulnerable to the launch services bug.

The merge just completed and I now have a single layer that looks to be good. QRecall now reports a size and a date for it, and no longer says "-Damaged-". The verify is running now. I imagine that'll take a while.

That's the theory. I'd be very interested to know if you find otherwise.]]> https://forums.qrecall.com/posts/preList/31/94.page https://forums.qrecall.com/posts/preList/31/94.page GMT That's the theory. I'd be very interested to know if you find otherwise.[/quote]

I'm doing a new hard drive backup right now. I'll let you know how it goes.]]> https://forums.qrecall.com/posts/preList/31/96.page https://forums.qrecall.com/posts/preList/31/96.page GMT
It worked. Did the entire thing in one shot, no crashes.]]> https://forums.qrecall.com/posts/preList/31/98.page https://forums.qrecall.com/posts/preList/31/98.page GMT
