Mac OS X Hints - A community-built collection of OS X hints

  • Whenever I delete a file from a network volume, I'm warned: 'The item "File
    name" will be deleted immediately. Are you sure you want to continue?' with
    Cancel or Delete as options. The Cancel button is always the default option. If
    you really want to delete the file, you need to use the mouse to select the
    non-default Delete button. Since I am always sure that I really want to delete
    this file, I'm a little annoyed by always having to use the mouse after typing
    Command-Backspace (the Move to Trash shortcut). After all, I am using a shortcut
    because I want to avoid using the mouse.
    • This is a Snow Leopard update, and a bundling of, the hint on using Time
      Machine on a networked AFP volume       and this comment
      about creating a bootable Time Machine backup.

      Issues addressed:

      1. I have a Time Machine backup disk in my office, and I want it to be
        encrypted in case of, for instance, theft of the disk.
      2. I have a shared Time Machine server at my office, and I don't want others to
        access my backups.
      3. I want to move my Time Machine backup to another disk (a larger one, or
        simply to have an extra copy)
      4. I want it to be easy :-)
      The solution (as has been pointed out
      before) lies in using disk images for backups, with a little bit of magic to
      make it work.
