Re: Disk Images of All Apple Disks

[olcott <olcott@qwest.net>]

This might even be the BEST solution to my problem.
Although the other solution was very useful for getting
stuff from the net through my Intel PC to my Apples,
this solution might be the simplest way to get all of
my Apple stuff back up to my intel pc for CDR
archival backup, as long as the intel pc can handle
the disk image files that Disk Copy produces...

In the Intel PC world there is no operating system
software for creating disk images, and the disk copy
software ONLY copies from one disk to another.
