SuperDuper

Since the introduction of OS X, it is NO LONGER possible to simply copy folders from one locat- ion to another by dragging them. Most folders you can still copy, but the important ones like the Library will always generate an error mes- sage. You will have to use a software like Carbon CopyCloner (freeware) or SuperDuper (share- ware) - both can be found via...

Hi Bob, Because I have successfully burned every one of the folders within ~/Library - it just won't burn them all at the same time! Nigel

This is exactly why programs like CarbonCopyCloner and SuperDuper were written. ...

I have a 15" G4 iBook that I want to synchronize with my G4/450 AGP both under Panther9. I can't use the standard apps like SuperDuper or CCCloner (I believe) since the System is not the same for the two boxes -- different ROMs AFAIK. So *what* exactly should I copy and how (dragging files/folders is surely not the way to go) My setup: G4/450 & iBook G4, OSX Panther9,...

Use Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper. You can find both at http://www.versiontracker.com

hmm read the manual. sounds like the only way to do what i want (not erase disk first -- but just add the new files like a drag and drop) is to get the registered version of superduper is carbon copy as good? cheaper.... and can someone explain a bit to me how an "image" works? when i drag and drop, i get duplicates of the files i want on the new drive. easy. i can...

a little confused by Superduper it wants to erase everything on my target disk, and THEN copy some "image" onto the target disk. i liked with the dragging thing, that it just copied, but didn't erase -- and (ion the past) then i've been able to instantly open some of these files -- from the ext disk. seemed nice

Read the instructions with Super Duper. You can't copy an OS X system by draging. You can download a Manual Here

just dragging. i did download superduper, but i dont know the first thing about it.
