And, if you search the archives, you'll find a post from me
explaining how to use the terminal and the tar command to perform a
clone of an existing drive as well. It's not as nice and clean as
super duper or carbon copy cloner, but it works in a pinch, and I
have firsthand experience with it, so I can definitely say it works. :)
Since tar comes with osx, and so does terminal, you need invest
nothing extra to make your backup.
Like I said though, it's not as clean because of the way it handles
device files, but it does work, and it saved me when none of the
other utilities would do the job for some unknown reason.
