One e book said that best way to install is erase and install method and that CCC is best. But the CCC website, says it may not work with Tiger.
Also, the author of the e book, said that Disk Utilities REstore feature is not working for him in Tiger. For me disk utility would be great, cause it looks real simple and I would not have to learn CCC. Anyone having problems with this feature of disk utility? thanks.

What I did was to clone my hard drive to an external drive with CCC. Then I did a clean (reformat and install) installation of Tiger onto the internal drive. When I got to the part where you can import data from another Mac, there is an option that lets you import data from another drive/partition. I specified my external drive, and after an hour or so everything was copied back over: apps, user data, libraries, etc. So there's no need to use CCC after installing Tiger because Tiger will do a restore for you of your cloned drive.

asr

sudo asr -source <source volume> -target <target volume>

It comes with the OS, and is supported on Tiger.

So, if you want to clone the volume you're booted from, for example:

sudo asr -source / -target /Volumes/"Target Volume"

CCC works fine in Tiger if you drop it on Pseudo (http://personalpages.tds.net/~brian_hill/pseudo.html)
Pseudo allows you to run any program as administrator!

thanks, so disk utility would work fine in Tiger. I may go that route, don't have to learn CCC, right?
