Boy, y'all weren't kidding when you said they bunged up Disk Utility in Sierra!

I used to use DropDMG to create disk images of Mac volumes. Never used it to create a hard drive clone, but it might work.

Then again, CCC is a much better tool for this task.

I'll give that tool a look. Thanks.
I've really gotta update my "toolkit"... I've been lagging behind since "most" of the Macs I'm supporting are so far behind the curve!
DropDMG goes back to the original Mac OS days, IIRC.

Well, apparently, other tools have filled that niche for me until now! :-)

I agree DU is "bunged" up and in my opinion almost unusable. Like ka jowct I often resort to snow leopard to get the job done.

If it ain't broken, don't fix it. It wasn't, Apple did.

SuperDuper works also.
