Hello

My understanding is that it's usually better to (smart)backup a computer while it's not running; I'm used to booting on a partition of an external hd, running SD from there to clone my iMac on the second partition. It works fine under Tiger.

I know there are issues between SD and Leopard, but is it ok to backup my new macbook (which runs Leopard) the same way, i.e from a partition of an external HD running Tiger? Will the second partition will be a proper clone, will it be bootable? I'm not using Time Machine, btw.

(regardless the SD/Leopart issue, am I too paranoid using this method, or is it the proper way?)

Cheers,
