Macoso Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Hi there, I don't know if anybody uses this trick but is very useful for mi. First I install any OSx version, and then I make an HD image with Acronis (about 30 min to create the image.) Finally I can do experiments in SO, changing kext, applying patches and so on. If anything goes wrong I restore the image with Acronis (only 8 min to restore entire partition). Well, is only an idea.

I just started a thread about this in the post installation folder... Does Acronis really restore everything properly? Which version are ayou using if so? --bornagainpenguin Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/25037-little-trick/#findComment-169182 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macoso Posted August 18, 2006 Author Share Posted August 18, 2006 Hi The version is Acronis True Image 7.0 And works perfectly. In the fact, I restore in other disk with more capacity and the OSx boot like other disk. Is the perfect solution, to have a testing plataform.

rogabean Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Good tip, but I still find booting with -s and undoing changes to be quicker. Good for guys who might not have the knowledge to do this though. (I know when I first started with OS X86, I just reinstalled when I fubarred anything) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/25037-little-trick/#findComment-169473 Share on other sites More sharing options...
