I -NEED- a tool for OS X that works like Norton Ghost for specific features that i regularly use.
I've looked around a bit, but i don't have a non-PPC mac to test some software with (like CCC)
Right now on some older machines, i have a WinPE with Norton Ghost 11;
i use it for these specific features that it provides:
1. makes a disc image of windows based on the data, not the whole partition (e.g. image file is only as much data as you're using, not the whole 500GB drive being imaged)
2. i can then use 'GhostExplorer' to browse the image file, and extract certain files/folders from it (THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART)
3. it can also make a disk-to-disk full copy (but this is what almost all the tools do, so no big deal)
I would like to inquire to you guys if there is any software for Mac that can do the same things as above, with number 2 being the most important, and number 1 being VERY helpful
I've wondered if i could use TimeMachine on a running mac to make an image file of an external drive, that i can later browse via TimeMachine, but like i said, i don't have a mac to test this idea with.
Help is very much appreciated!
Quick note: Ghost will do disk-to-disc of OSX, and it will make an image too, but it's the FULL size of the hard drive since Ghost does not understand the filesystem, and i cannot browse the image to extract files because GhostExplorer is windows only.
