[QUOTE="bmcgonag, post: 521251, member: 29816"] So, if you have a separate mac, you can connect two together using firewire, then boot the separate mac into OS X, and then boot the second holding T I think (some key anyway, search the net for os x boot options). This boots the other mac with the 3 partitions as a slave drive. Now connect your other backup drive, and do a 'dd...' type command line copy from the 3 boot drive to the backup drive. I"m not sure of the entire command, but there are several out there that will backup block for block. NOTE: this will take for freakin ever so start it on a night when you don't want to use it for quite a while. Brian [/QUOTE]
