[Ti] help with 10.4

[John Griffin]

I have done this procedure a number of times, but I use SuperDuper to  
clone my internal disk to my Firewire backup drive. I then boot from  
the FW drive and security erase my internal drive (which finds and  
disables any bad sectors). Then I copy everything back over to the  
internal drive (again, using SuperDuper). I have never had a problem  
with this technique.

I used to have all kinds of problems with CCC and stopped using it  
quite awhile back.

An alternative is to use the “Restore” function in Disk Utility to  
move all your files to another drive and make it a bootable copy. I  
did this once and it worked just fine. But SuperDuper is much, much  
faster and has lots of other neat features (like making a “Sandbox”  
to preserve the integrity of your system).
