Recently, Apple Inc. released the
latest Mac OS X Mountain Lion version (i.e. Mac OS X 10.8.3), thereby
fixing the bugs in Safari, Security Update 2013-001, and many other
apps. Many of you might have upgraded to OS X 10.8.3 as suggested by
Apple. Mac OS X 10.8.3 integrates security, stability, and
compatibility.
Latest Mac OS X version is likely to
fix many of the bugs encountered in earlier and a few current
versions. However, many users are complaining that their Mac machine
is freezing, crashing, and a few are getting gray screen on startup
after upgrading to the latest OS X 10.8.3.
Apple must be aware of the tribulations
users are facing after upgrading to OS X 10.8.3. Therefore, the
developers must make sure to fix the issues soon..
However, users are recommended to stick
to their current data security strategies (such as Mac drive cloning
and imaging) to protect their valuable data. As cloning a Mac drive
involves formal process of duplication, the resulted drive is an
exact copy of the source drive, which is used in place of the
original drive.
After a formal upgrade to the latest
Mac OS X 10.8.3, you certainly do not want anything happening
adversely. Therefore, Mac drive cloning not only ensures the data is
protected, but even ensures for robustness of the Mac machine. Disk
Utility troubleshoots the issues (such as disk permissions error,
data read/write problem, volume header corruption, etc.) encountered
while accessing Mac volumes, including boot volume. Moreover, it
facilitates cloning the complete Mac 10.8.3 drive at once or
individual volumes.
Follow the straightforward process
discussed below to clone a Mac volume using Disk Utility:
Open disk utility from Applications->
Utilities folder. Click the Restore tab in the right pane of the disk
utility window. Now drag and drop the target volume from the left
pane of the Disk Utility window to the source field in the right
pane.
Similarly, drag and drop the
destination volume from the left pane to the destination field. Now,
make sure that the selected volumes are correct.
In addition, make sure the destination
volume does not contain any data. If it does, move everything to any
other location, as cloning is going to format the destination drive
first. At last, click Restore button to initiate the cloning process.
However, if you are cloning the boot
volume of the Mac OS X 10.8.3, it is recommended to go to Recovery
mode, and then start cloning.
