Yes, my mistake. It’s an Early (note “Late”) 2009 A1225 iMac. That makes no
difference in my comments. Thanks for the “illegal” photo. Yep, that’s a video
card issue.
As you’re not eager to go inside your iMac, I suggest you ask the local Mac

same.
Once you can get a shell script working you can either
Sorry, I should have said this in my other reply, but if you are really just
after an easy to use backup system that is free, assuming you are not on a
really old version of OS X, just use TimeMachine. Its pretty much set it and
forget it. It won't be bootable, however OS X's installation offers
