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.
