See previous hint? Erm, the previous hint says nothing about troubles related to backing up/restoring a drive.
Erm, ignore that. The hint he was talking about was in fact the hint above this one, but I read oldest-to-newest so I looked in the wrong direction for 'previous hint'
Came in handy several weeks ago when our netboot server was down for a while.
I booted from a stack of (early build) panther install 1 Cds. They boot way faster (1min) than a bootable Cd made with BootCD (12min) and they can image the lab machine from an ASR ready DMG. Nice. (Would be nice if they had post-restore actions, tho).
Has anyone actually verified that you can restore any given disk image, and that it will be bootable? I heard there were some limitations on what could be restored properly. If so, then ths is indeed exactly what we all needed back in 10.0. :)
did 100 macs this way using ASR.
it works
4 differnt operating systems on each
9.2.2, 10.1.5, 10.2.8, and 10.3
The real disappointment here is that Jaguar has no such capability to make a cloned/bootable hardrive. Or a 'bootable' disk image. Or does it?
This hint doesn't help if you want to backup BEFORE upgrading to Panther...I guess you still need CCC for that. Am I right?
since I don't have Panther yet and I'm not at my Mac, but with Jaguar, Disk Utility was included on the install CD. If Disk Copy's features are now part of Disk Utility, and it's on the Panther install CD, you might be able to boot from the CD and utilize Disk Utility's new features to backup your hard drive just prior to installing Panther.
Can anyone verify this before I decide to get Panther? :-)
Jaguar has had this ability since around 10.2.3 I think. The new area in Disk Utility in Panther is simply a GUI wrapper to the command line utility ASR. Do 'man asr' in Terminal to read all about it. I've been using ASR in terminal for just on a year now without needing to use CCC or any of the other progs. Works very well indeed in Jaguar.
I've tried it but I had problems. I did nothing special, just copied the drive to a firewire drive. (well another mac in target disk mode)
It worked; however, the permissions were all wrong; the machine would not boot. I used the panther install CD and after 2? hours of fixing permissions for every single file it worked just fine.
Also note, that ditto changed, and that is why many utils out there do not work with panther. check out ditto! It does zip archiving --probably what the finder uses!
ditto --rsrc SourceFolder TargetFolder

ttfn,
copy the drive to a .dmg file first
that preserves permissions
Just a guess, but... you probably forgot to tell the system *not* to ignore permissions for the firewire volume before using asr.
You can find this setting in the volume's get-info window (select the volume, then command-i), and looking for the check box in the 'permissions' section.
Yes, I did.
for some reason it did it. I just tried it again. I know its off, now I run it, and it turned it on! ?
So for some reason disk util is setting it to ignore permissions....
its got to be a bug.... I've got 2 partitions, perhaps that is part of it, and why others says it works. but for me it never does.
I also tried it from source and dest disks and then picking restore and it STILL does it to me! And I played around with the other partition and it still does it to me!
So, now I tried asr the command line tool that disk util uses. Now it works just fine. So somehow the ignore permissions keeps being turned on by diskutil but asr does not do this, and so it works....
any ideas why diskutil does not work for me but asr does?

ttfn,
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,
i did the same with an external firewire drive, but i want to save the image i made to an other macs internal drive. i got following errors:
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.
any ideas ?
It should be explained that the ASR functionality has been around for quite a while. In Jaguar it was present, just not with the GUI presence in disk utility. I've used it many times to clone hard drives in the same successful way that CCC would do it. Actually, it's quite funny that there's never been a hint here on using it in Jaguar.
It seems like producing a .dmg is the best option.
Can I boot from my source harddrive (internal powerbook drive), run disk utility and create a valid image file to a target drive (firewire connected drive)?
Listen, I will make my comment easy. Use CCC. This feature in Panther has major issues. I have to double check to make sure I'm not running Panther beta. Nope!
instead of keeping your post short, why don't you detail the problems. Seems to me like you are either :
a. bashing the apple tool with no supporting facts
b. affiliated with CCC and trying to sell it
c. lazy
d. all of the above.

I have found the restore feature works well if you know of the pitfalls.
Pitfall 1) if you are making an image for restore use Images->New->image from folder. Images->New->image from drive1 creates an image that can't be scanned for restore.
Once the image is created dismount the image and scan for restore
Dual boot caution!!! If you are needing the computer to boot into Mac OS 9 do not use the Erase Destination checkbox in the restore panel. Erase it 'manually' with the disk utility with the 'Install Mac OS 9 Disk Driver' checkbox. Then you can restore **without the Erase Destination** box checked.
This is really important especially in the bondi and 'fruit flavored' iMacs because if the driver partition is missing the computer will stall midboot and will not allow Mac OS 9 to boot even from a CD.
