I used when I switched from my old MacBook to my new MacBook Pro. I had a little bit of trouble finding the right MAC address, but I did figure out a simple way to make sure I had the right one: I set the drive as my backup drive and began a new backup. It created the folder for the backup, then I stopped it. I ran your program for the new directory, and in doing that, your program tells me what the old MAC address was for it. I then used that address on my old directory, deleted the new one, and the backup worked fine. I also appreciate your Beer-ware License. Consider yourself beer-ed if we ever meet. Excellent program!
