Since the NS/OS/Rhap install discs aren't standard iso's, how exactly does one back them up?
I'd like to make a backup of my copy of Mac OS X Server 1.0, as the original has acquired a few scratches, but can't seem to get a reliable image ripped then burned onto a CDR.
Just wondering what others here have done...
Thanks!
if you ever figure that one out, I'd love to know..
I know that the OSX 1.0 CD's are multisession with a HFS/OS8 session and a UFS/OSX session.
I paid a fortune ($599) and I'd feel better with a copy of it....
With dd in Linux (also there is a port of dd for Win32), I can create images ready to be burned.

I don't think that works on multisession disks... But that is what I did use to make an image of my NS 3.3 disc for qemu...

Okay, so I managed to figure this out for myself with a bit of trial and error.
I'm a mac user, so don't have Linux on hand...
1. Stick your OSX Server 1.0 disc in the drive.
2. Open up Disk Utility
3. You will see one session on the disc, with 4 partitions. Two will show as mounted. Ctrl-Click the Session1 section corresponding to your disc, and choose info.
4. It'll tell you which device node the session is on. In my case, this was /dev/disk5s1
5. Open up Terminal.
6. use dd:
dd if=/dev/disk5s1 of=/"Mac OS X Server.iso"
7. Burn it to a blank disc using Toast. I couldn't get it to burn from Disc Utility.
Works. I booted my Rhapsody machine from it.

AWESOME!.. I can't wait to get to Miami to get my old OSX's... and my cube!
