I know this has been asked before but I am trying to backup a clean image of my installation. When I try to use Advanced 1: Backup and Restore Installations by mechdrew I get a message saying it can't create the new image. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there another way to create a clean image of the Hard Drive? Thanks for your input. |

Did you boot from the Install USB Disk, or tried it within your running OS X? Where did you try to save the image? I booted from my USB Stick with the Snow Leopard Installer, then plugged in a USB Harddisk to another USB- Port to save the image on. Press cmd+alt+t the activate the toolbar. Now choose your OS X partition, press new image in the Toolbar and choose the right place to save the image. |

True, when creating clones it is best to boot from a secondary drive (not the drive you are planning to clone). Meklort's Blog | NBI Google Code Page | osx.mechdrew.com -- the best OSX installation guides  |
