John: Taking your original post and your second question at face value, NO, a CCC disk image is not bootable, but YES, you can restore a volume with it and that volume would be bootable. However, this is not the way most people use CCC, which is to not make a disk image but to make a bootable clone directly on an alternate volume. The CCC web site has excellent documentation: http://www.bombich.com/ccc_support.html You can download it for convenient reference. CCC's disk image capability is useful for some folks with unusual needs. At: http://help.bombich.com/faqs/dmg-and-remote/dimages there is this statement: "(* Disk images themselves are not bootable, but you can mount them and restore their content to a physical hard drive to produce a bootable, exact replica of the original)." Also, you can restore either by using CCC or Disk Utility: http://help.bombich.com/faqs/dmg-and-remote/dmg-restore Hope this meets your desires.

Re: CCC image bootable?
When I replaced my boot drive with a larger one, I booted off the original drive, and cloned over to the larger one. There is a message that comes up, if you have set it up right, that says that the copy will be bootable.. Mine was. After the drive swap I noticed no difference in the operation of the system. I have only used CCC once so I am not as fluent as others on this list are with the program. But I can see no reason why it wouldn't be able to make a bootable backup, and you shouldn't have any trouble restoring it to the original. Sadly, the only way to be sure that everything works with the hardware you have chosen, is to actually do it. Best of luck.

In the ancient history of floppy disks and magnetic tapes an image was a bit for bit copy, the word being stolen from the concept of a photographic image which could never be modified. How meanings change when Photoshop enters the scene. But it's pretty clear that the OP was using the old definition of image rather than the stolen word, reduced to a file type - .img, common to Apple's distributions which are actually compressed data. And clone has the same problems, especially when used for race horses. -- --> Give me liberty or give me Obamacare <-- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
