> Jim, Do you know if this feature exists on the earlier build of Lion that is running on my other notebooks? Because they are also backed up using Time Machine, but don't seem to be giving this trouble.

I think the feature is present in all releases of Lion, but I do not know whether it defaults to "on" in all releases.

Somehow, I don't understand the logic of having "that many" copies of data that it reduces productivity to this extent. Initially, we started with the trash can. Then it was Time Machine. And now it saves versions of our documents in Lion. And now local backups?

So many people are moving to low capacity high speed SSDs now. It's like the OS is trying to promote storage media sales. Is it?

Yep, but OCZ is not OWC.

3.: chmod message

I have just bought an OpticBook 3800 scanner. I had to download the software from their website, as the CD and the leaflet with the machine were PC only.

When I try to install the software, I get a message "chmod: Unable to change file mode on /Library/Application Support/Plustek/OpticalBook 3800: Operation not permitted".

Yet I am the only account and the administrator.

The software then forces a restart to complete the installation. Once restarted, the software won't open until I go into system preferences and add to the read/write properties on the Info panel.

It then starts up, and the scanner head responds but nothing happens.

In the print/fax tab in system preferences the scanner is NOT seen although my printers and other scanner are seen.

At the moment the developer in Germany is not being very helpful. I am reluctant to send the scanner back as it is potentially very useful for my work.

What does the chmod message mean? And how do I get round it?

I am on an iMac 27in, i7, mid-2010, running 10.6.8.

Thanks
