Carbon Copy Cloner Best mirroring app, ever. I have used it to upgrade internal drives for years and moving to new machines. USB or Firewire enclosure to hold the original drive and boot from that, then copy to the larger, new, internal drive. clay 2002 s430 - Victor, a Stately & well tail

Pretty much, assuming your target drive is another hard drive or external. There are all sorts of tutorials on the web for this. I would suggest reading a few before you do it so you understand the ideal settings. MacDan Sent from my iPad > On Jul 25, 2014, at 1:28 PM, Rich Thomas > wrote:

What would the macophiles recommend as a good ("the best") app to make a backup disk image of a whole mac disk (1TB)? I have it set to do the time machine thing but I want to do an occasional total image of the disk, and esp when this new OS comes out soon. --R _
