Anyone know what happened to Disk Copy? The X version can't make disk images. Is there a way to make a disk image at the command line? I could imagine booting of the CD and running a Unix app to make a disk image. I read a suggestion to use ShrinkWrap instead of Disk Copy on OSX. Has anyone tried using ShrinkWrap disk image of an OSX disk with Apple Software Restore?

There has to be a Apple sanctioned way to make disk images... how else would Apple make their own disk images.

Thanks for any help.

Good point!
I use classic to do this, but I desperately need it in X because its a nice way to secure backup apps. The apps on this image can be copied back without destroying their funktionality... so how can we do .dmg files?

Read http://www.stepwise.com/Articles/Tec...-03-29.01.html for creating .dmg files, but I don't think dmgs can store resource forks if you have any on your disks.
