<font size=3>Although CCC is more *efficient*, you can use Apple's own
Disk Copy to clone volumes, such as your system drive. You can certainly
do this from a disk image to a partition/volume, and I presume you should
be able to do it from an existing volume to another. I will have to look
up the menus, etc. to get the details, but I've done this many times for
testing purposes and restoring clean images.<br><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite>Hi,<br><br>
I have a new G4 desktop power mac running OS 10.2.8 with two internal
hard<br>
disks. I would like to set it up so that the second drive is an
identical<br>
back up of the startup drive and I am looking into using Carbon Copy
Cloner<br>
for this purpose. CCC (v2.2) with psync installed did create a
bootable<br>
clone of my startup drive on the second drive, but the icon<br>
arrangements/view options for all of the folders changed.<br><br>
<br>
My questions are as follows:<br><br>
1) Do I just need to live with the view being different or is there
some<br>
way to copy the folders exactly?<br><br>
2) If it isn't possible to copy everything to the clone, what other<br>
information gets lost in the process? Application preferences?
Browser<br>
bookmarks? Why isn't it possible to make an exact copy?<br><br>
3) Can anybody suggest a better way to do this type of routine
backup?<br><br>
<br>
The MIT computer help desk tells me that CCC should work the way I want
it<br>
to, but they can't help me (except to suggest posting my questions to
this<br>
list) because they don't support CCC. At their suggestion, I already
posted<br>
a similar message to the Bombich troubleshooting site on 10/14/03. Over
150<br>
people have looked at that so far, but no one has responded.<br><br>
Please help!<br><br>
