Tried that. Problem: Can't create an image of a disk on this very same
disk, and for some reasons, it wouldn't work on external FW-drive.

No worky: External HD is 20 GB, internal HD is 80 GB split into 3
partitions.

Didn't really do it here. Will try again some other time.

I've succeeded finally with CCC, after deleting some stuff on the HD
incl. the drive's indizes. Still get an "Error 1" at the end of the
whole cloning process, and after moving the image to a network drive, I
couldn't move it back to external FW HD. Huh?
