No-Touch , Hard Drive imaging (Complete Back-UP)

I just wanted to make this short post,

The server I built that is now the primary activant sco unix server...

well because its modern hardware it supports booting from usb, and because i am also

the master of Apple OSX, this computer will boot osx right from a USB 2.0 external 

harddrive.

so do a powerdwn-

then plug in your Trusty External Hard Drive, Tap F-12  for boot menu, boot OSX, then

Feel free to DD your SCO Drive with out even removing it from the machine!

then just shut down the computer and disconnect the USB External, Flip Back on and

server comes back up, only now, you have a Bit by Bit flawless image of the hard drive.

and while you are at it, Compress the image, it will go from 40 gigs to just 1.5 gigs compressed!

This idea was not all my own, the owner sat down and we came up with it,  Sometimes its

good to have a time out and toss your ideas out there!
