Hey All

I was wondering how to Backup OS X 10.3.6 on my iPod???

I tried copying all the files on it but, when I loaded them back to the drive(after formatting)it was still old systemOS X 10.3.2, and was not updated??? The System I loaded on the iPod was 10.3.6...

Also what software would be good to use(if I needed)to backup OS X 10.3.6 to a USB 2.0 External hard drive???


Thanks!!!

Brad

Lots of topics on this if you had simply searched.
For just a backup, you can use the Apple Backup app. Very easy. If you want your backup to be bootable, use Copy Carbon Cloner and select option to make bootable. Make sure you have enough space on your iPod and also select to repair permissions before copying.
