[G4] Re: Carbon Copy Cloner

[Dave March]

I used the free version of SuperDuper to clone my OS,
and I've been running on the clone for a month with no
problems.  Same deal -- just wiped the target volume,
did a straight bootable clone, and put the original
drive away for safe-keeping.  If you want to unlock
incremental backups, synchronizing, etc., you have to
pay the shareware fee.  But the freebie done me good. 
Now to find a comparable app for the old peecee...
