Cloning or "ghost imaging" software for OSX?

What software exists for backing up / cloning my G4 powerbook hard drive? I searched but I can only seem to find drive cloning software for PCs. Thanks.

Look into "Carbon Copy Cloner". It's free and works great!

Uh, sorta.

Some things don't survive.

None of my plugin authorizations came over. I had to reinstall all my Adobe software.

I think maybe some developers make their apps not fully "CCC" friendly. Anyone know for sure?

In the end it would have been easier to just start over.

It Will save your OS and your address book, bookmarks, email addys, etc.

Yeah, SuperDuper is great--you can download a trial version and see if it does what you need.
