Ok, I have a copy of Carbon Copy Cloner now. I looked in the preferences and I'm not sure what I need to set. I want to make a clone of my hd on this laptop and save it across the network to a Windoze 2000 Server.
What settings do I need to check/uncheck to do this and then be able to restore it back to this machine if something goes wrong and I can't get Panther to install fresh?
Also, how can I make a copy that will allow this laptop to be network bootable if I might have problems at some point and need to boot off of that version? How does all that work?
Sorry for the questions, I'm still a mac newb. I could read through the help files for an hour and still possibly get it wrong, or ask someone who's done it and knows how to do it right. Thanks in advance.
You use Disk Copy to create a disk image (stored on the server) of sufficient size to store the clone. Then clone your disk.
Your problem will come if you need to use it to replace the whole system. You need OS X installed and booted from a hard disk in order to restore from the image. So you need a second HD large enough to hold a minimum OS X system (2G).
