Using vaults on a second machine

in Knox
I have to (sniffle) turn in my Macbook Pro to Apple for a repair this week. My vaults are backed up to an external volume that also houses a Time Machine backup and SuperDuper! backup.



I will be borrowing my Dad's older G4 12" to use in the meantime and I am wondering what I can do to keep using my vaults?



Thanks,



Stephen

    Hi Stephen,



    I'm sorry to hear about your MacBook Pro. <img src='http://forum.agile.ws/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/skype_sadsmile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':-(' /> I hope everything works out well and is either covered by AppleCare or cheap. <img src='http://forum.agile.ws/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/skype_smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':-)' />



    You can open Knox vaults on any Mac running 10.5 or later — 10.4 if you chose that option when creating them. The file extension for the 10.5+ vaults will be [font="Courier New"].sparsebundle[/font] while the 10.4+ vaults will end with [font="Courier New"].sparseimage[/font].



    You can install Knox in Mac OS X 10.5+ and drag your vaults to the list (Preferences > Vaults) in order to manage them with Knox as usual.



    I hope that helps. Please let me know how it goes (and how your MacBook Pro ends up).



    Cheers!
