Disk Superduper

and they said that it's not really necessary, so long as you aren't really doing anything, and the apps that are running aren't writing to the disk either. Typically, I restrict my activities, during a backup, to Web surfing, and only if I absolutely have to do look something up, or work on something. ...

It did this in X.4.5 and I'd hoped applying the combo updater to X.4.6 might fix the problem, but no such luck. The HD runs quiet and I've run Disk Warrior to repair it's directories. I'm stumped and would appreciate any suggestions... ...

I just used SuperDuper to do a restore of the data that was on my 30GB drive to the new 100GB internal drive that I added to my iBook. It was great. ...

Dennis... I've been using SuperDuper in this fashion for some time now, as an added bonus, if your image is of a bootable drive, it can be restored from Disk Utility when you boot from your install CDs-DVD in an emergency situatiion. Takes about 20-30 minutes from disaster to up and running again.

Use SuperDuper to run two backups, one for each of these drives, to the mounted sparse disk images. The disk images can grow in size, as needed, and this is exactly what I want. ...

01. To format the external hard disk drive, hdd, use 'Disk Utility' (/Applications/Utilities/). 02. To duplicate the iMac's internal hdd's contents to the FireWire hdd, consider 'SuperDuper!' or 'Carbon Copy Cloner'. Both are freeware. --- By the '10 GB' hdd description, it appears you have an iMac (Bondi Blue) through iMac (early 2001). If so, replacing the internal...

and the temporary hard disk will appear. Backup to that temporary hard disk with a backup program like SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner or others. Once you write to that temporary hard disk, it automatically write to the .img file. ...

You can't simply drag the data from one drive to another under OSX; certain files are owned by root and you won't have permission to move them. You can do this if you log in as root but even then it will not create a bootable drive as the system folder will need to be "blessed" If your new iMac is an Intel model then it is unlikely you will be able to clone the PPC...
