What you can do is make a Carbon Copy Cloner to a external drive, which copies everything and if you hold the option key you can boot from it. I have a full backup of my iMac that I did using the programme that came with my Lacie drive and I still have the installation disk for Tiger, although if worse case Snow Leopard doesn't work, and I install Tiger again, will Apple update me back to 10.4.11? You'll have to ask if this is possible on Carbon Copy Cloner forums, I remmeber using CCC long ago on 10.5, but not sure if it's 10.4 as well.ĬCC is donationware, so if it asists in creating a bootable 10.4 clone on a external drive, be sure to donate. ![]() The LaCie backup likely doesn't make the external drive option bootable, like CCC does. So the LaCie is really just a non-bootable backup, how exactly it stores files and what (the whole drive + OSX, or just user folders?)Īnyway it gives you another backup you can count on, but for manual restores like a install of Tiger.
