creating Image of HD with cccloner

need some help guys.

im trying to create an image for backup purposes of my internal HD after a fresh install, nothing else on the HD. ive loaded cccloner, and ive gotten as far as creating a complete image on the external HD. but now, if i install some programs that i dont like on the internal, how do i restore the snapshot i took???

and what is this i see about "netboot"? im guessing using the image on a network, which i dont need.

so basically i have:
checked- delete directories on target disk before overwriting, create a disk image on target

and thats it.???

Reboot from the copy and run CCC on that to restore the laptop.

If you install apps, however, you don't need to restore your drive...just drag them to the trash.

I'd recommend looking into SuperDuper! over CCC, as it seems a much better programme.

SuperDuper! looks nice, but for 30$ id like to get the cccloner (free) to work the way i want.

arghhhhh learning a new OS and imaging a drive is a pain at the same time

Yeah, you want to make the clone bootable.

Back up image software

Kakaze: As I contemplate moving back to the Macpro from my PC: I've used "Norton Ghost" for my image (clone) back up (I don't think it is made for the mac), does super duper or carbon copy allow the image to be burned to either a cd or dvd instead of a external hard drive?

Also, do you know where to find the best 7200 rpm drive and cost to replace the 5400?

Thanks

newegg.com for the 7200, get a hitachi 7k100.

cccloner DOES NOT allow for direct dvd burning.

Thanks! Is the backup software for the Mac OS X require the clone go to an ext. drive?

Is there a way to backup to the int. harddrive then burn the file to cd/dvd; then boot to it for a restore if needed?

The reason I asked: if I purchase the Macbook Pro from a Apple reseller on line I can save about $545, after tax & shipping compared to ordering it from Apple with the 7200 rpm drive.

Since I have not owned a Mac for many years is there anything here that I'm not considering? Given the above would this not be the best move?

If so is there any way to easily use the the 120 gig internal 5400 as a "back up" drive for cloning?

Thanks to everyone: I am an old Mac guy forced to the PC world trying to find a way back!

im a new mac guy forced out from the the PC world. i love my 2day old macbook. it just runs really hot. not uncomfortably, but noticable.

i was wondering if it was worth it to apply some AS5 to the chip. i found a great howto here:

I don't know of any mac backup software that will burn to c/dvd. I think Toast has something that can do it, however, but I'm not sure as I've never used Toast for anything but making normal discs.

yes, just pick up a 2.5" USB or firewire or combo enclosure and you're all set.
