This question has been briefly discussed before, but not in very great detail.
Here is my situation. I own a copy both of Carbon Copy Cloner, as well as Super Dooper. With these type imaging apps, is it possible to do a cross restoration? In other words, let’s say that I make an image of my mac mini. Could I then, in theory, turn around, take the external hard drive which I backed the macintosh HD up to, plug it into my macbook, and boot successfully to it, and copy it back over to the macbook’s internal drive? I totally get that I could image the mac mini backup on to another mac mini, but can I cross restore from one model device to another, or will I then run into driver hardware issues? I’m just not sure how OSX does that as far as drivers are concerned. Does OSX only install the drivers needed for your set hardware when you do a clean installation, or does it actually install all drivers for all model systems, but then only use the ones that it actually needs? I hope my question makes sense what I’m asking. Chris. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
