They do need to make that pane easier to parse. I was under the

create a disk image to restore from.
Back in early August, when the hard drive in a new-to-me G4/533 began
to fail, I discovered that Disk Utility's Restore function would make a
perfect clone, without the need for a disk image. I thought I had
stumbled upon a feature I never noticed before. I did not know it was
a "new" feature of 10.4. I have had a few cases where CCC did not
complete the task, when cloning a drive for backup purposes. When
DiskWarrior told me my drive was failing, I did not want to fool around
with CCC and the possibility of it not completing the task. As Tom
said, Disk Utility's Restore function works perfectly.
