While talking with guys from Dantz the other day at Comdex, Apple Software Restore (ASR) came up. The Dantz rep mentioned that ASR has been enabled under Jaguar.
I couldn't find any previous posts saying that ASR works under Jag, so here it is. You can type man asr to get the syntax, too.
[Editor's note: The help for asr is very thorough and explains exactly how to go about creating an image of an OS X installation, as well as including tips on speeding the restore process.]
