Carbon Copy Cloner and SuperDuper offer incremental updates of the clone, copying only the files which have changed, and both offer the ability to schedule the update, so it happens on a regular bases. Image via Step 4: Drag your USB (or a Dual-Layer DVD) drive from the list on the left into the 'Destination' box and click 'Restore' (or just click the 'Burn' button in the upper left if youre using a Dual-Layer DVD) and in 10-30 minutes (depending on whether youre using USB 2.0 or 3.0) youll have your backup disk ready to instal on as many Macs as you like. You have to manually run Disk Utility -> Restore each time. You cannot schedule Disk Utility to perform the copy. For example, you cannot incrementally update your clone with Disk Utility, which means any update requires copying everything, even if it has not changed. The Disk Utility -> Restore feature basically does the same kind of work Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper perform, with much fewer bells and whistles. Making a wild guess, I'm wondering if you think my reference to Disk Utility was suggesting you make a disk image. Thats why it seems like there are only Windows drivers. If you look in the ISO or DMG in the explorer, it cant read HFS+, only the standard, FAT32 or CD format.

One with the main install (HFS+) and another one with Boot Camp drivers for Windows (FAT32 or just a standard CD format).
MAC OS 10.6.8 ISO MAC OS X
You think it's better to create OSX image for my scope? Basically, older Mac OS X CDs have two main partitions.

You would boot from the clone and use Carbon Copy Cloner to transfer the data back to the internal boot disk.ģ. The state of your Mac will be consistent with when you last updated the clone. if OSX was damaged, I can use usb disk to restore the whole OSX (included app+data) to original disk? If your external disk is not listed, then your approach did not work as desired.Ģ. Boot holding the "Option" key and you should get a list of all the bootable disks and/or partitions available. Boot your Mac using the external disk and verify you can do this.
