I need to back up my 9600 running 9.2.2 to my G3 running 10.3.9. I want to get a bootable backup for the 9600. The 9600 has a Sonnet G4 processor and a Seagate Barracuda SCSI hard disk.
The two computers are connected on a local ethernet network. The G3 can see the 9600. The 9600 can not log on to the G3 (the password is always invalid, or some similar thing). I could take the hard disk out of the 9600 and put it into an enclosure and install a PCI to SCSI card in the G3. Hopefully that would let me use O.S. 10.3.9's disk image software to make an image of the 9600. Or I could try to find some software that would let me back up the 9600 to the G3 and make a bootable backup. I can bring the 9600 over to the desktop of the G3. However, when I try to do a large backup, it only goes about 700 Mb and the 9600 locks up. The 9600 needs to be backed up, wiped clean and start over. I am trying to get it to the place where I can run 9.2.2 on it and 10.3.9. I need both systems due to some older software I have to run. The G3 is not stable with system 9.2.2, system 10.3.9 and the larger (500 Gb) hard disk I put in it. I installed the Speed Tools Suite in hopes (with the Hi-Cap driver) of allowing the large disk to run with both operating systems. However, the G3's bus is not stable (a problem I find that some of the G3 series has) and the large disk can only be seen and used under system 10.3.9. I think I may have to replace the Seagate drive on the 9600, and possibly the CD drive to get OS 10.3.9 to load on it. But that is the next step in the process. Right now I just want to back up the 9600 and get it more stable. Any thoughts, comments, suggestions are welcome. My time for this project is somewhat limited by my regular job and church commitments (Thursday, Friday and Saturday (sometimes) are the only times I have to work on it). I will be happy to get any technical information to answer questions.
