It’s a good day to back up!
Yesterday I had a system drive disappear. It’s gone.
Idiotic not to have a current clone available, all my fault. Stupid Stupid Stupid.
Got an hour or two to spare today? Hook up that weird ol’ FW drive, launch Disk Utility and cut a disk image of your system drive.
You won’t be glad you did till you’re really glad you did.

This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

I decided to take your advice. Being fairly new to mac, I must be doing something wrong. I tried to do it, but I get the error message every time: Unable to create disk0.dmg. Resources busy.
I also tried clicking on the Macintosh HD icon just below the drive icon. The only thing that changed was the name of the file: Unable to create disk0s3.dmg. Resources busy.
The disk is Journaled. Would that make a difference? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Gary
