10.3: Image, clone, and restore drives with Disk Utility
Authored by: mnoel on Nov 04, '03 01:50:26PM

This worked fine for me. I have an external portable firewire drive which I use as a backup. I installed 10.3 on it to make sure everything I wanted working in OS X still worked in Panther. After a few hours of fixing things I had a good working system on the external drive.

Then I simply used Disk Utility to copy that system onto my internal drive, and checked the box to erase the target.

Now I'm running from that cloned system, working great. I did this on my PowerBook and my Cube. No problems at all and it took about 1 hour for around 20 GB.

Hello,

Error (16) without erase botton selected
Error (19) with erase botton selected

yesterday i get error (2) while other experiments with disk util. but strange is that the same image works fine on the first mac.
