[G4] Re: Carbon Copy Cloner

[Richard M. Kriss]

Nate,

Why are you messing with an image file?  I used CCC for a long time and
never fooled around with an image file.  The steps I used that always worked
was to first erase or partition the target drive and make it bootable. Let
CCC do its thing and you will have a clone that should boot.

The only issue with CCC is it does not support incremental backup and takes
a long time to clone anything.
