Hi all,
Have a new HDD on the way for my 1.67 Ghz Powerbook G4 17-inch, and I am looking to keep all of the tweaks and applications I've set up intact. I have Mac OS X Leopard installed and nothing else on the drive. I would usually just do a DD command on my Mac Pro (I have known working IDE to USB controllers I can use) to make an image and then restore that image to the new drive. Would I be better off doing this, or using the Time Machine feature built in to OS X 10.5.8?
I was planning to DD the image to disk, then DD the image to the new drive, put the old girl back together and then reboot. Would that work for old OS X or am I better off using Time Machine?
Thanks all!
