They do need to make that pane easier to parse. I was under the impression that it only worked from disk images; that you had to 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'm using 10.3.9, and Disk Utility offers Restore, and I think I cloned the hard drive with Restore before I even moved up to this version. So Restore has apparently been part of OS-X for quite a while.
