And it save my bacon last night.
Running Panther on an unsupported 9600 is always a touchy situation but when I had to restart last eve due to a freeze and couldn't get through the boot process, I feared the worst.
After many tries I managed to zap the PRAM and boot to an OS 9 install to find one of my partitions unrecognizeable and my main X system NG.
Fortunately I was able to boot to the second internal drive with X and even more fortunately I had just backed up my drives two days ago to an external FW with
SuperDuper.
So, after I did the DiskWarrior routine on all visible partitions, I erased the bad system and copied the backup via SuperDuper. Am now back on my main drive with renewed directories and defragged partition.
Thank you
SuperDuper.
