thunder.scripts Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 (edited) I need an application to create a bootable copy of my OS X partition and store it in a file. I tried using Carbon Copy Cloner, but it says I don't have any other partitions mounted apart from the bootable one. I have three partitions: 1. OS X - HFS+ 2. WINXP - FAT32 3. Files - FAT32 (this one is actually in a different hd) So, I would like to store a full backup of partition number 1 in partition number 3. Is that possible? How do I restore it if my system suddenly doesn't boot? Thanks!! Fede EDIT:I'm about to create a backup of my bootable partition using SuperDuper. I intend to store it in the third partition in an image file. The thing is... suppose my system suddenly breaks. How do I restore it from that image?

fireshark Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Remember, FAT32 max file size = 4.2 GB Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/41915-backup-application/#findComment-300255 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunder.scripts Posted February 11, 2007 Author Share Posted February 11, 2007 Well, I had to transform my partitions into NTFS because of the filesize limit (I thought that limit wasn't a problem anymore) and install MacFuse to access them. I created a full backup using SuperDuper! and appearently everything went fine. I haven't tried restoring it yet because everything is working OK and I don't want to wreck it, but when I have to I suppose I will use Disk Utility from the Install DVD to restore the image. Hope it works... it should. Good luck! Fede Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/41915-backup-application/#findComment-300276 Share on other sites More sharing options...
