I did not get the 'Resource busy' when I did it before but it was on Leopard then. I've closed all apps, rebooted, then opened Disk Utility, and followed the steps. Same thing: Resource busy. I've tried repeating the above steps but creating the.dmg disk by selecting the folder from my backup drive so nothing there could be running. If you need to add a custom EULA to your disk image, this page describes how to do so using command-line tools. The gist of it is to use the template software licensing agreement resource provided in Apple's slasforudifs1.0.dmg, modify the resource with your EULA text and inject the resource back into your disk image file. From here ORA-00054: resource busy and acquire with NOWAIT specified You can also look up the sql,username,machine,port information and get to the actual process which holds the connection.

OS X :: Restoring From A Disc Image?
Jan 23, 2010So I had to have my macbook pro HDD replaced (applecare) and I made a disc image backup beforehand and put it on my external HDD.
I just picked it up from the apple store today, and called tech support for help with restoring it from the disc image. I was instructed to put the install disc in and boot holding the 'c' key, then go to disc utilities, to the restore tab, find the image as a source, and then drag the internal HDD volume to the destination field. It didnt work, so I was transferred to a senior advisor, who told me to do the same thing. The only time it would work is if I dragged the indented one that reads 'Macintosh HD' instead of the one with the GB size and brand name. The senior advisor told me that it wouldnt work for him either (dragging the volume) and dragging the macintosh HD isnt how it's supposed to work, so he couldnt guarantee a proper result. It didnt work anyway. I dont remember the error message.
So he starts telling me that the best option might be to install the operating system from the discs, update to 10.5.8, and then just copy the 'user' folder and then move everything where it is supposed to be. I wasnt particularly impressed and I'm not convinced that it has to be that difficult or time consuming.

Applications :: Restoring Backup Image To New Mac
Jun 4, 2009I take total bootable backups of my macbook pro with superduper application, to an external hard disk. In a few months I plan to buy a new mbp, and I would like to know if it is possible to 'copy' my whole osx system environment(applications, data, everything) to the new machine, using this superduper backup, with the appropriate restoration process.
Can I boot the mac from the external hard disk, then run superduper, and use 'copy' option of superduper to copy the osx environment from external hard disk to internal hard disk? I think that everything should work fine but I do not know if it will appear any new hardware/configuration problem.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Restoring HDD Via Clone Image
Jun 20, 2012I've been trying to partition my drive to use bootcamp for the past 3 days now. I've done this before with ease and let me just say Apple (usually) makes this very simple.
I have 10.7, all updated and working properly with no disk errors (repaired/verified). Disk Utility won't partition my 500gb HDD into a 100gb windows partition along with a ~400gb OSX one, says some files cannot be moved. So everything I've read says to image the HDD (image saved on USB external terrabyte), restore to it via disk utility on boot from the image, and then to partition.
I created the image of Mac OSX successfully and saved it on the external. I rebooted and got into Disk Utility, selected the image in the left column, marked it as the source image, and then chose my internal HDD as the destination.
From the looks of it, I've done it all correctly. But I keep getting the same error... it says it needs to scan the image, I let it, and it goes for about an hour or two with the subscript 'Block Checksum Partition #X'. In this case, it is at #2, and when it gets toward the end of the scan, an error pops up saying 'unable to scan (internal error)'.

Nov 8, 2009I recently decided to partition my hard drive on my macbook in order to install Windows 7, but upon doing so I was greeted with a message informing me that some files couldn't be moved and that I would have to reformat my HD. I created a backup disk image using disk utility and proceeded to erase and reinstall my OS. My OS is now reinstalled but I don't know how to go about using my backup to add all my old preferences, files, and applications. I've tried using restore through the disk utility but it isn't allowing me to do so. All I want are my old files and the ability to partition my drive!
Windows On Mac :: Restoring Boot Camp Image To SSD With WinClone?

When checking the WinClone forums I noted that users have reported they were unable to restore their Boot Camp images to an SSD via WinClone. Some have even bricked their drives and have had to have them replaced.
Has anyone had success with the latest version or should I avoid restoring my WinClone image and perform a clean installation from scratch?

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Error Occurred While Restoring From The TimeMachine Backup
May 16, 2012I have an brand new HD that I want to restore from TimeMachine. Erased and partitioned this brand new drive. Created 2 partitions and formatted as “OS Extended Journaled/ GUID.”
Did a “Command R recovery boot” and went through the steps to backup from TM to my new HD. 15 seconds into the restoration process Msg. reads: “Error occurred while restoring from the backup.Restart your computer and then try restoring again.”
Trouble shooting:
Luckily my original files and initial boot drive that TM was backing up from remains fine and I performed some more TM back ups as well as a TM backup onto another drive as well.
I even tried restoring to another empty drive with older backups and backups off of another HD and got the same error message. All my BU’s and BU attempts have been within 10.7.3 on the same MP.

Hardware :: Time Machine Error - Disk Image Cannot Be Mounted?
Oct 29, 2009My files were backing up for about a day, had 75gb of 100gb done and then my power went out. It cancelled out, and then when it came back on I tried to resume it. It started to backup 25gb, which I'm assuming is just the last 25gb that it had to do. Anyway, it did that for a while then stopped, and now when I try to backup, it says: 'Time Machine Error: The backup disk image could not be mounted.'
How do I backup the rest of my stuff? Do I have to start over? And is there a way to make it transfer faster? I mean, there's no way to directly connect it to your computer, is there? Also, in the Time Machine settings thing, it says 'Available: 839.8GB of 929.5GB. Does that mean it has 839gb of my 929gb backed up? What happened to the other 71gb? I just want my stuff to be backed up, why is this so complicated?

Manipulate disk images (attach, verify, burn, etc).
Disk images are containers that emulate disks. Like disks, they can be partitioned and formatted. Many uses of disk images blur the distinction between the disk image container and its content, but this distinction is critical to understanding disk images. The terms 'attach' and 'detach' are used to distinguish the way disk images are connected to and disconnected from the system.
For example, when you double-click a disk image in the macOS Finder, two separate things happen. First, the image is 'attached' to the system just like an external drive. Then, the kernel and Disk Arbitration probe the new device for recognized file structures. If any file structures are understood, the associated volumes will mount and appear in the
Finder.
Always consider whether a 'disk image' operation applies to the blocks of the disk image device or to the (often file-oriented) content of the image. For example, verify verifies that the blocks stored in a read- only disk image have not changed since it was created. On the other hand, create -srcfolder creates a disk image container, puts a filesystem
in it, and then copies the specified files to the new filesystem.

As of macOS 10.5, a more reliable, efficient, and scalable sparse format, UDSB (SPARSEBUNDLE), is recommended for persistent sparse images as long as a backing bundle (directory) is acceptable. macOS 10.5 also introduced
F_FULLFSYNC over AFP (on client and server), allowing proper journal flushes for HFS+J-bearing images. Critical data should never be stored in sparse disk images on file servers that don't support F_FULLFSYNC.
SPARSE (UDSP) images and shadow files were designed for intermediate use when creating other images (e.g. UDZO) when final image sizes are unknown. As of macOS 10.3.2, partially-updated SPARSE images are properly handled and are thus safe for persistent storage. SPARSE images are not recommended for persistent storage on versions of macOS earlier than 10.3.2 and should be avoided in favor of SPARSEBUNDLE images or UDRW
images and resize.
If more space is needed than is referenced by the hosted filesystem, hdiutil resize or diskutil(8) resize can help to grow or shrink the filesystem in an image. compact reclaims unused space in sparse images. Though they request that hosted HFS+ filesystems use a special 'front first' allocation policy, beware that sparse images can enhance the
effects of any fragmentation in the hosted filesystem.
To prevent errors when a filesystem inside of a sparse image has more free space than the volume holding the sparse image, HFS volumes inside sparse images will report an amount of free space slightly less than the amount of free space on the volume on which image resides. The image filesystem currently only behaves this way as a result of a direct attach action and will not behave this way if, for example, the filesystem is unmounted and remounted.

/dev Entry Access
Since any /dev entry can be treated as a raw disk image, it is worth noting which devices can be accessed when and how. /dev/rdisk nodes are character-special devices, but are 'raw' in the BSD sense and force block-aligned I/O. They are closer to the physical disk than the buffer cache. /dev/disk nodes, on the other hand, are buffered block-special
devices and are used primarily by the kernel's filesystem code.
It is not possible to read from a /dev/disk node while a filesystem is mounted from it, but anyone with read access to the appropriate /dev/rdisk node can use hdiutil verbs such as fsid or pmap with it. The DiskImages framework will attempt to use authopen(1) to open any device which it can't open (due to EACCES) for reading with open(2). This might cause apparent hangs while trying to access /dev entries while logged in remotely (an authorization panel is waiting on console).
Generally, the /dev/disk node is preferred for imaging devices (e.g. convert or create -srcdevice operations), while /dev/rdisk is usable for the quick pmap or fsid. In particular, converting the blocks of a mounted journaled filesystem to a read-only image will prevent the volume in the image from mounting (the journal will be permanently dirty).

Compatibility
macOS 10.0 supported the disk images of Disk Copy 6 on Mac OS 9. macOS 10.1 added sparse, encrypted, and zlib-compressed images. These images will not be recognized on macOS 10.0 (or will attach read/write, possibly allowing for their destruction). As the sparse, shadow, and encrypted formats have evolved, switches have been added to facilitate the creation of images that are compatible with older OS versions (at the expense of the performance and reliability improvements offered by the format enhancements). In particular, sparse images should not be expected to attach on versions of macOS older than that which created them.
With macOS 10.2, the most common image formats went 'in-kernel' (i.e. the DiskImages kernel extension served them without a helper process), image meta-data began being stored both as XML and in the embedded resource fork, and the default Disk Copy.app 'compressed' format became UDZO (breaking compatibility with 10.0). macOS 10.4 introduced bzip2 compression in the UDBZ format which provides smaller images (especially when combined with makehybrid) at the expense of backwards compatibility.
In macOS 10.4.7, the resource forks previously embedded in UDIF images were abandoned entirely to avoid metadata length limitations imposed by resource fork structures. As a result, UDIF images created on 10.4.7 and later will not, by default, be recognized by either macOS 10.1 or macOS 10.0. flatten can be used to customize the type of metadata stored in the image.
macOS 10.5 introduced sparse bundle images which compact quickly but are not recognized by previous OS versions. macOS 10.6 removed support for attaching SPARSEBUNDLE images from network file servers that don't support F_FULLFSYNC.
macOS 10.7 removed double-click support for images using legacy metadata; these can be rehabilitated using flatten and unflatten, or convert.

History
Disk images were first invented to electronically store and transmit representations of floppy disks for manufacturing replication. These images of floppies are typically referred to as 'Disk Copy 4.2' images, in reference to the application that created and restored them to floppy disks. Disk Copy 4.2 images were block-for-block representations of a floppy
disk, with no notion of compression. DART is a variant of the Disk Copy 4.2 format that supported compression.
NDIF (New Disk Image Format) images were developed to replace the Disk Copy 4.2 and DART image formats and to support images larger than a floppy disk. With NDIF and Disk Copy version 6, images could be'attached' as mass storage devices under Mac OS 9. Apple Data Compression (ADC) -- which carefully optimizes for fast decompression -- was
used to compress images that were typically created once and restored many times during manufacturing.
UDIF (Universal Disk Image Format) device images picked up where NDIF left off, allowing images to represent entire block devices and all the data therein: DDM, partition map, disk-based drivers, etc. For example, it can represent bootable CDs which can then be replicated from an image.
To ensure single-fork files (NDIF was dual-fork), it began embedding its resource fork in the data fork. UDIF is the native image format for OS X.
Raw disk images from other operating systems (e.g. .iso files) will be recognized as disk images and can be attached and mounted if macOS recognizes the filesystems. They can also be burned with hdiutil burn.

What's New
In macOS 10.12 Apple will provide an updated hdutil command able to work with the new file system.
macOS 10.7 added the ability to quickly render encrypted images inaccessible using the new erasekeys verb, which saves time versus securely overwriting the entire image.
In macOS 10.6, pmap was rewritten to use MediaKit's latest reporting routines so that it can properly support GPT partition maps. Also -debug now implies -verbose for all verbs.
macOS 10.5 changed the behavior of attach when run on an existing image or /dev node: if the image was attached but no volume was mounted, the volume would be mounted. Prior systems would return the /dev without mounting the volume. This change effectively removes the ability to create a second /dev node from an existing one.

Examples
Mount a Disk Image:
$ hdiutil attach /path/to/diskimage.dmg
$ hdiutil attach /path/to/diskimage.dmg
Unmount a Disk Image:
$ hdiutil detach /dev/disk2s1
$ hdiutil detach /dev/disk2s1
Create a Disk Image from a folders contents:
$ hdiutil create -volname 'Volume Name' -srcfolder /path/to/folder -ov diskimage.dmg
$ hdiutil create -volname 'Volume Name' -srcfolder /path/to/folder -ov diskimage.dmg
Create an encrypted Disk Image from a folders contents:
$ hdiutil create -encryption -stdinpass -volname 'Volume Name' -srcfolder /path/to/folder -ov encrypted.dmg
$ hdiutil create -encryption -stdinpass -volname 'Volume Name' -srcfolder /path/to/folder -ov encrypted.dmg
The required password can be piped into the hdiutil command:
echo -n SEcurePa$$w0rd | hdiutil...
echo -n SEcurePa$$w0rd | hdiutil...
Burn a Disk Image file (.iso, .img or .dmg) to a DVD:
$ hdiutil burn /path/to/image_file
$ hdiutil burn /path/to/image_file
