But what about 10.2 Jaguar?
Authored by: Anonymous on Nov 04, '03 12:47:38PM

The real disappointment here is that Jaguar has no such capability to make a cloned/bootable hardrive. Or a "bootable" disk image. Or does it?

This hint doesn't help if you want to backup BEFORE upgrading to Panther...I guess you still need CCC for that. Am I right?

Just guessing here...

since I don't have Panther yet and I'm not at my Mac, but with Jaguar, Disk Utility was included on the install CD. If Disk Copy's features are now part of Disk Utility, and it's on the Panther install CD, you might be able to boot from the CD and utilize Disk Utility's new features to backup your hard drive just prior to installing Panther.

Can anyone verify this before I decide to get Panther? :-)

But what about 10.2 Jaguar?

Jaguar has had this ability since around 10.2.3 I think. The new area in Disk Utility in Panther is simply a GUI wrapper to the command line utility ASR. Do 'man asr' in Terminal to read all about it. I've been using ASR in terminal for just on a year now without needing to use CCC or any of the other progs. Works very well indeed in Jaguar.
