Backup to image file?
Anyone know for a good program to backup Leopard partition to a image file?
I used TrueImage on Windows, and would like to have some similar program on Mac, to backup system partition to a compressed file on another partition. Thanks in advance. |

Why not Disk Utility. See Naquaada's Disk Utility Post:

One thing to note is that the efi bootloader isn't cloned, you'll have to reinstall chameleon once you've restored.

i used it to restore bricked systems. but afaik it only works with partitions the same size. concerning bootability i think it ran without need of reinstalling cameleon.. btw: i used acronis before, it did work as well (on ide / mbr config) Leopard 10.6.5 | Core i3 | Gigabyte H55M-USB3 | ATI 5770 | Coolermaster Cosmos |

No, it only compresses the portion that's actually in use, so the only requirement is that the partition you restore to is large enough to hold the original data when expanded. |

Thanks Dies... very true. If the image-install doesn't allow you to boot, simply use your DVD to boot into your disk... Then install chameleon. Fast, Easy, Simple. :-)
