Honestly, I cannot see why I couldn't clone OSX over a running computer, onto an empty disk/partition (obviously, not over the boot disk): the copied files wouldn't interfere in any way with the running OS. (a file is just a sequence of data: wether it's system or not, until it's "activated" it doesn't make any difference)
Anyway, my opinion is irrelevant (not to mention wrong! :-D ) since CCC's author Mike Bombich answered me this way: "You can back up user files to a network volume, but the OS won't work if you clone system files to that volume, there's too much stuff that doesn't get preserved by the network filesystem." So be it. Firewire or bust. ;-) -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
