Every once in a while I make copies of those two backups to a DVD. On a separate external drive, I keep a complete backup of both the main and external bootable drive. I keep a minimal install of OS X on one of my external FireWire 800 drives. Personally, that's how I keep my system backed up. But Disk Utility will work just as well to back up the entire drive, and you already have it. Some of which have already been mentioned. How do I make a bootable copy of my hard drive that I could install/copy onto a new PowerBook hard disk in the event I lose/have to replace mine?ġ.33 GHz 12" PowerBook G4 1.25GB ram "ANTIGEN" Mac OS X (10.3.9) iPod Photo 60 GB "ENZYME" I have a Seagate 300GB external hard drive to work with. Of all people, I really should have a backup that I can use in the event that my hard drive is utterly destroyed somehow.
My mac is a PowerBook G4 with a few years on it, and I take it places that are sometimes unwise for its safety security or nature-wise. Is there a way to just directly copy whatever is needed to make a bootable backup to an external hard drive? I'm tired of trying various software and waiting hours to discover that it froze at some point. I've tried Carbon Copy Cloner, but it freezes when it is trying to copy the User Profiles everytime. This is stupid, because everyone always says "to back up your mac", but I only copy my iTunes and Photo Library folders because I don't know how to back up the entire thing.
