I have posted a similar question a few months ago when I was a new iMac user.
Now that I have had a chance to use my Mac - I would like to re-ask my question as I now feel I am better able to understand your replies.
I wish to clone - or copy - my HD as a backup that I can then restore if needed. I have a G5 iMac, 512 meg Ram, 160 gig HDD. What are users' views on CCC, Tri-Backup and SuperDuper for my requirements? I have briefly tried all 3 but without partitioning my HD I found that they all took a considerable amount of time. Is this normal?
Also - when I am ready to clone my HD - how do I make my backup image into a bootable CD?
Thank you in advance.
