wp1 Posted August 31, 2002 Report Share Posted August 31, 2002 I have used OS 9 Disk Copy 6.4 numerous times to backup and restore an OS X system disk from OS 9. Simply "Create Image From Volume" to make the backup (make sure it is a read/write image, or the restored disk will be read-only). To restore, mount the image and do a 'Clone' from the mounted image to the OS X disk-to-be. If the two are the same size, it does a block copy. However, if they are different sizes, Disk Copy "Clone" does a file by file copy. The result is a fully intact bootable OS X disk restored from OS 9. I have done this with both 10.1.x and 10.2. The question for Dantz... If I can do this using Disk Copy, the capability clearly exists in OS 9. Why can't I do an OS X restore using Retrospect from OS 9? When will I be able to? Having to do a OS X install, followed by a Retrospect Install, followed by a full restore is something only Windoze users should have to do.

Guest Posted September 4, 2002 Report Share Posted September 4, 2002 We are certainly working with Apple on a quicker disaster recovery approach in Retrospect. Until that time, you could certainly use your approach to simplify the Retrospect restore if needed. Thanks for posting your suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
