dwbird Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Miray is advertising a standalone x platform hard drive cloning program that according to their support people will create an exact clone of a hard dirve including the boot partitions. It creates a bootable cd that allows you to do a complete sector by sector copy of a drive to another drive, even one larger than the original. When I asked the support desk, I specifically asked about the HFS+ support and was told that it would work. Haven't tried it yet but will soon. Program is called HDClone by Miray Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/9990-hdclone-by-miray/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be great to take a snapshot and not have to go through the long install process again Let us know if it works ok Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/9990-hdclone-by-miray/#findComment-62572 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwbird Posted February 25, 2006 Author Share Posted February 25, 2006 It works. can copy whole disk to whole disk or whole disk to partition, however after reading their manual it doesn't allow you to expand the partition size, says you need "special tools" for that. they have a free version that works for most but doen't support USB 2.0 the paid versions do. www.miray.de is the site Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/9990-hdclone-by-miray/#findComment-62913 Share on other sites More sharing options...
domino Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 if you already have a bootloader, you should give Personal Backup X4 a shot. i just cloned my OS X install to a different drive in the second primary partition.

fibtastic Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 You were able to clone with X4? This used to work for me under 10.4.3 but now that I'm running 10.4.5 I can not boot a clone I've made. I thought this might have something to do with the partition map type but I've tried both GUID and DOS partition types to no avail. I've also noticed that there's no bless command in 10.4.5. I'm running 10.4.5 Security update 1 from the myzar cd. I've tried blessing with the bless command from 10.4.3 but no luck. If someone has had success cloning and booting a 10.4.5 disk to a usb HD I'd really like to know how they did it.
