SCSI Cloner

[rezwits]

Back in the day I had this great utility, I can't recall the exact name, but I am looking for a copy.  It was freeware anyway.  But this is what it did.

It was really lite, after launch it had a dialog, that had you pick, original scsi ID, destination scsi ID, and then you clicked clone, (or copy).  And that was all.

After about an hour depending on drive size.  If the destination was larger than the original, the drive would show up on your desktop as an exact bit copy of the original, with extra space at the end, but the funny part was if you went to Apple HD SC Setup, it would look identical.  But beside that, it just did a "bit clone"

I think the app was

Bit Copy

Bit Cloner

SCSI Clone

SCSI Cloner

I can't remember, I mean it was like a 32K app launch click click clone, basically did DD for you in Mac OS.

If any knows where I can find that please let me know, 

Thanks again!

I'm interested in this as well. I was actually about to start a thread about cloning a SCSI drive....I don't want to hijack the thread so I'll post my exact question elsewhere

There was quite a few back up programs, including for the Zip & Jazz Drives. There was also Toast to back up your hard drive to a CD ROM if it was smaller than 700MB; you needed to click on the "make cd bootable" option and understand that the Mac II Series (including the SE\30} and the LCs up to the LC III did not boot from CD ROM Drives.

Norton Utilities also had Norton Back Up as well.

If I can remember the icon was of Iron Maiden's Eddy Killers Album but in Black and White! HAH

Maybe that might spark something!!

I am trying to clone an Fireball 1.2 A/UX drive to an exact same model of Fireball 1.2 HD, it will be really efficient for weekly backups.

I don't recall if norton can do an exact "SCSI" copy.  I'll look...

Ok don't sweat it!  I found out a cleaner way.  FWB 2.5 and maybe later, has an option for Device Copy.

You open up the menu and you pick a Hard Drive then pick Destination and then Blam!  CLONING!!

Yea!!!
