RE: Backup/Restore

There is a very detailed desription of how to to this in "man asr"

The way you're doing it should work - I have successfully cloned and
restored via the built-in GUI DiskUtility, basically doing:

1. Boot from another OS X installation than what you're trying to clone.
2. Create an image from the (volume og folder - can't remember which,
but read "man asr")
3. Cleaned the image for swapfiles etc. (as described in "man asr")
4. Restored the image via the "restore" tab in Disk Utility.app on the
new volume
5. Rebooted

OS - OSXS 10.3.4
Machine - Dual 2ghz G5

I've been trying to make a backup/restore image, I booted from the
install CD, ran DiskUtil, selected my volume, saved read-only to a
different volume, the image size is 6gb, rebooted under the installed
OS, ran DiskUtil, selected the image and scanned for restore, it ran
for 4 hours before I quit it.

Thinking size may be an issue I converted the image to compressed, size
is 2.8gb, ran scanned compressed image, 2 hours has passed and still
scanning, looking at activity monitor one would assume you'd see disk
activity but there doesn't appear to be any.

Is there another way I can make and prep an image for restore that
actually works cause what I've done so far doesn't appear to be
working.
