[Macpartners] Help with Carbon Copy Cloner

[Kerem B Limon]

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.
