You don't need nor is there an equivalent software like CCC or SuperDuper for OS 8.6. You simply drag and drop the contents of the hard drive you want to back up to another hard drive - and it will be bootable.
There is no 'cloning' procedure - just drag and drop. If you find the copy is not bootable, then the simplest procedure you'll probably have to do is 'bless' the system folder.
Simply open the 'System folder' folder, then locate a file called 'System' (it will most likely look like a suitcase with a Mac 'happy face' on it). Move (do not copy!) the 'System' file to your Desktop, then drag it back into the 'System folder.' Your system folder is now 'blessed' and should be bootable. Mikuro & ElDiabloConCaca, Thank you both.
I have Install CD 8.5 only (8.6 was updated from 8.5). So it would be inconvenient to use Install CD 8.5 (I have to go through the updating procedure to 8.6). That is the reason I need to have an 8.6 emergency CD created from scratch. Also I would prefer to have a cloned volume (HD) on a CD or an external HD. I don't think Mac OS 8.6 on PowerMac 6500 takes any DVD. My internal HD is 2GB with half free space. I do have an Iomega Zip disk drive that can be used, but it has limitations in size.
Looks like CD or External HD is my best bet. So any suggestion? Thanks again!
