[X4U] Question on copying a drive

[Neil Laubenthal]

SD or CCC or Disk Utility will all work . . .although I would probably not use Disk Utility since it takes longer.

Don't do anything else with your computer while the clone is in progress . . .although it probably won't hurt anything I've always let the clone happen on it's own. The first time with either CCC or SD will take a couple of hours but subsequent clone updates will be quicker.

CCC is free (donation requested) . . . SD is shareware but is fully functional for cloning without buying it . . .you just don't get the scheduling features.
