OS X's Disk Utility can clone drives - see the "Restore" tab. Destination must be same size or larger than the source. There are also various 3rd party tools that do this, such as Carbon Copy Cloner and SuperDuper, which can do incremental clones and are more focused on being used for ongoing, bootable backups. - Zack -- Zack Williams - Artisan Computer Services - 520.867.8701 [email protected] http://www.artisancomputer.com ACSA, MCP SBS, SCSA, LPIC-1 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
