Hi Corky:
I tracked down the problem on this one. Google Drive keeps adatabase at /Users/yourname/Library/ApplicationSupport/Google/Drive/snapshot.db. This database records, amongother things, the inode number of your Google Drive folder. Fileand folder inodes are physical addresses that indicate where withinthe filesystem a particular file resides. If you read the contentsof this database, you can compare the values to the inode numberson your volumes, e.g.:
So in this case, I'm booted from the backup volume. You can seethat Google Drive has my Google Drive folder's inode numberrecorded as '1222230' and that's what the inode is for that folderon the original volume, 'Lion'. When I look at the inode value ofthe folder on the backup volume, it's different. The inode numbercan't be preserved in a file-level backup, so Google Drive willalways break when you boot from your backup volume.
Unfortunately there's no easy workaround for this. As long asGoogle Drive records inode numbers, it's only ever going to workwith the original source volume. It doesn't matter how accuratelyCCC preserves the contents of these folders or the databases thatstore information about them, the inodes will always be differenton a new volume.
To summarize:
Google Drive reports that the Google Drive folder does notexist
Disconnect your account from Google Drive, then sign in again toGoogle Drive to re-establish the 'new' folder on your destinationvolume as the Google Drive folder.
