View source for Hard drive image creation for Macs

=== How to clone a Mac drive with Carbon Copy Cloning ===
It could recreate the whole hard drive over a new disk or just store the image in a specific location, that later will allow duplicat the system or even distribute over Netboot/Netinstall server.

Carbon copy could be downloaded from:

There are multiple options that works:

'''Live system'''
From live system the destination could be:
* Another hard drive with enough space to store the current hard drive.
* Another current systems with, at least, the same size in hard drive, but note that:
** The ''backup type'' must be incremental
** The secondary system must be in ''target mode''

'''Non-running system'''
A system that previously was started up in ''target mode'' can also be hooked to a running system and selected as source.
The destination could be selected in the same way as described above, and the steps to accomplish are as follow:

# Connect screen, keyboard, and power.
# Turn on and immediately press and hold "t" until screen shows the firewire symbol
# Connect to the master using firewire cable
