Cloning the essbase drive

Hi All,
I have to replace the existing Essbase HDD drive with new one. Our OS is in Linux and we are in Hyperion 11.1.2.1 version.
Could you please suggest the standard method to do the same.
1) Shall i do the fresh installation on new drive and do the Essbase migration
or
2)
     2.1) Stop all Hyperion services
     2.2) Take the full Essbase backup
     2.3) Request my IT to clone the existing Essbase drive to the new one
     2.4) Start all Hyperion services
     2.5) Test the functionality
Could you please suggest if i missed anything, this is the first time i am going to try this.
Please suggest which is the standard and safe method, i have referred oracle documentation, but couldn't find anything on the same.
Thank you,
PC

If it is just the disk being cloned then option 2 should work because in theory there is nothing different once you bring the system back online.
Cheers

  • Admin tool could not load the essbase driver.Please check the configuration

    Hi All,
    I have obiee11g installed machine and want to connect that machine with essbase.
    For that I have installed Essbase Client [11.1.2.1] by downloading the following files,
    *1>Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Installer Fusion Edition Release 11.1.2.0.0 for Microsoft Windows (32-bit)*
    *2>Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Foundation Services Release 11.1.2.0 for Microsoft Windows (32-bit) Part 1 of 4*
    *3>Oracle Essbase Clients Release 11.1.2.0.0 for Microsoft Windows (32-bit)*
    After that I manually added the ESSBASEPATH and ARBORPATH as Environment Variables (USER).
    And also I manually added the essbasepath in bi-init.cmd file.
    Finally I tried to connect essbase with BI through BI Admin Tool, I get the following Error
    "*Admin tool could not load the essbase driver.Please check the configuration*."
    kindly guide me to overcome this issue.
    Thanks and Regards

    So configure the AD server so that the error message will not appear again.

  • Pavilion Slimline s3760a: Cloning the Hard drive to replace with larger drive

    Product Name:Pavilion Slimline s3760a
    OS: Vista
    Hi All,
    I'm Turina, just joined the forum think I'm posting in the right place but let me know if I'm not please.
    So we've had our computer for several years, the hard drive is in the red so am swapping it out before it dies of old age, for a WD 1TB Hard drive.  
    I am going to use a Sata-usb adapter and the Acronis True Image WD Edition Software to clone the installed hard drive.
    It is only used at home, and we are purchasing another one for gaming, so this is just the usual photos, music, documents computer, some website/ftp type stuff, but nothing too consuming.
    I don't think I have the original cd that came with the computer, so I don't have a cd of the OS.
    Have already backed up the computer several times so should I return to factory setting prior to changing the hard drive?  No important stuff on there that I can't retrieve.
    Questions are:
    The current drive is partitioned, the C: and the D: which is the Factory Image.  I want to know if I can clone the factory image separately to the C drive onto different drives.  ie the factory image onto one drive and the rest onto another drive.  I actually am not sure what a factory image is but after reading about it I asume it is the information used to restore your computer back to factory settings??
    If I can't clone separately, when I clone the drive will the computer then be able to recognise the extra 1TB or will it still just recognise the current drives memory of 320GB.  I know you can enlarge partitions etc. no idea how or even if I need to do this??
    And would a separate SSD or even hard drive for the OS be over kill?  I don't actually think I can put the os on a separate drive as I don't have the cd, and don't know if I can do it with the cloning software.  But thought I would ask anyway.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks for your time

    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Your correct, the D is a protected image used to create a factory Recovery. It's less than 15GB.
    A prepped/formatted 1TB drive creates about 931GB of useable space.
    The clone process will create about 916GB for C. The remaining will be the D.
    Hope that helps.

  • Cloning the main drive

    I'm thinking of replacing the 250gb drive that game with my mac pro with at least a 500gb drive.
    What's the best way to duplicate the main drive onto the new disk. I was thinking of taking the new drive and placing it in bay 4. (which is currently open) Duplicating the System drive and them replacing it.
    Thoughts?

    You can install the new drive in any bay. Your startup drive may be in any bay. You can clone as follows:
    How to Clone Using Restore Option of Disk Utility
    1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    2. Select the backup or destination volume from the left side list.
    3. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (journaled, if available) and click on the Erase button. This step can be skipped if the destination has already been freshly erased.
    4. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    5. Select the backup or destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    6. Select the startup or source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    8. Select the destination drive on the Desktop and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. At the bottom in the Ownership and Permissions section be sure the box labeled "Ignore Permissions on this Volume" is unchecked. Verify the settings for Ownership and Permissions as follows: Owner=system with read/write; Group=admin with read/write; Other with read-only. If they are not correct then reset them.
    Be sure to prep the new drive properly:
    Extended Hard Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.
    Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.

  • Can I just move the boot drive from my iMac to new Quad G5?

    I've "upgraded" from a 1.8 GHz 20" iMac (Rev. A) with 2 GB RAM to a 2.7 GHz Quad G5 with 5 GB RAM and I'm not seeing the performance jump I expected for simple stuff like logging in after system restart (and the start up applications), launching applications, etc. The system profiler reports 4 CPUs, 5 GB RAM, etc. Memory intensive operations seem quicker but I haven't performed any real benchmarks and have a new drive in the iMac. The system just doesn't "feel" faster for basic stuff. I realize these may not be CPU intensive tasks but still expected to see a little more livelier system.
    I moved the iMac drive to bay B of the Quad and set it as the boot drive. Are there any folders, caches, etc. that need to be cleared?
    The new boot drive (my iMac's old drive) is a 300 GB Seagate ST3300831AS. (The original iMac drive developed a problem and was replaced with this drive a couple of months ago. I noticed an improvement as this drive is a little faster than the stock Maxtor.)
    The original Quad drive is a 500 GB Hitachi HDS725050KLA360.
    Specs of the two drives seem to be virtually identical as far as I can tell. (Actually I think the Seagate has .5 ms faster seek.)
    I'm thinking the issue is that the lack of performance gain I'm seeing is disk I/O and that the iMac wasn't lacking in power for basic stuff so I will only see the performance gain with applications that can take advantage of the additional CPUs and/or GPU. Still, I expected the system to feel a little faster.
    I just tried Virtual PC and it didn't seem to start up much faster and I definately expected to see a big improvement with this application.
    Any ideas?

    That's correct, I moved the iMac drive to the second bay in the new Quad G5.
    I wasn't sure if any combination of events would fix this. I didn't think there were any caches or anything else I needed to clear but just posted here to be sure.
    The iMac was 10.4.3 and current with all updates. I didn't really think anything was missing but posted here to be sure. My understanding of Mac OS X is such that I was pretty sure that everything the Quad needed was already on the iMac drive. Not that this is necessarily any more reliable, but I asked at the Apple store and they said there was no problem with me moving the drive to the Quad and setting it as the startup volume.
    A few people have told me that it's probably OK, but the official method is to use the migration assistant. So today I installed from the Power Mac OS X discs (10.4.2) to the Hitachi drive which I erased, then ran the migration assistant, then software update, then cloned the Hitachi drive back to the Seagate. I think the performace of the two drives is nearly identical (Seagate ST3300831AS, Hitachi HDS725050KLA360) and wanted the smaller (300 GB) Seagate drive to be my main drive.
    I've been using Macs for only about a year and have found the experience interesting. On the plus side the performance is fairly consistant and I don't experience progressive system slowdown over a period of months. And of course there are the system update, viruses, etc. issues which are better. On the negative side basic stuff feels faster on a Windows system. I'll try Photoshop which I have no doubt will be faster on the Quad than the iMac and probably faster than a PC, too. But Safari or Firefox don't feel as fast as IE on a new Windows PC. Just my observation. I invested a lot in this Quad and expected to feel a significant speed boost even if it's only for launching applications and displaying web pages. (I have Comcast's highest speed Internet service.)

  • What's the best way to use a cloned Snow Leopard drive with an iBook?

    My aging and ailing MacBook Pro is going in for Apple Care.
    I've made a clone of its hard drive and would like to keep working this week using an iBook G4.  Alas, an external drive with Snow Leopard will not boot from an iBook.  I did format the drive as an Apple Partition Map, so I can see it from the iBook and work with its files--but it will not start up from it.
    I forsee screw-ups as I work with some programs and files on the iBook and others off the hard drive.  Eudora, e.g., requires its In Box and Out Boxes to reside on the boot drive; many of my favorite programs take their settings from the start up computer, not the external drive.  That means there will be all sorts of settings-- e.g., Word,  Excel's, iKey's --that will need setting on the iBook or copying over to it.
    Alternatively, I could downgrade the external drive to Leopard or even Tiger so I can boot from it and work with the files that way.   I think that will require having to reformat the external drive--which means no direct  cloning of the MBP drive to it!  It also would preclude an easy 1-step restore (I'd have to clone it back to the MBP and then upgrade to SL).
    Unsure which way makes the most sense-- or if there's another way I haven't thought of.  I do have additional hard drives to play with (e.g., I made another SL clone of the entire MBP drive).
    Any ideas, suggestions welcome!

    Appreciate that extra tidbit, although that's not exactly true, is it?  I mean, I had a cloned Leopard MBP and a cloned Tiger hard drive that do boot from the iBook!
    If we could distinguish and separate the hardware drivers, download them from Apple etc., then it could be said we can use a clone on another model of Mac provided: A, B and C are met.
    But since Apple has changed from OS 9 to OS X, PowerPC 32 bit to 64 bit, PowerPC to to Intel 32 bit, Intel 32 bit to 64 bit, locks the drivers to certain install disk versions and changes hardware around constantly, including changing the OS and making it not run on earlier versions of hardware, sideways stuff like A4/A5 processors, causing such a cluster mess of confusion and obscuration that it's better to say NOT than trying to find the tiny possibilities that it can happen.
    If it does happen, lucky you, likely won't happen for any duration worth relying upon.

  • My new HD with a cloned system and apps won't boot the G5 when installed. The clone drive is being journal formatted via usb with OS9 checked in disk utility. First time around, I didn't check OS9, and the G5 didn't boot from the clone drive. Advice?

    My system is a G5 PPC with 2x 2Gig 64bit processors (dual core). 6 gig of ram on board, running OSX 10.4.11. I recently discovered the main drive was actually a laptop drive someone had stuffed in there! (The machine was given to me - yes, really). So I bought a nice new WD Caviar Black 500Gig HD. Hooked it up via usb adapter (G5 won't see it internally). Disk Utility saw it, formatted it with Journal option selected, but not OS9 install.
    After that, I cloned the data on the slow laptop drive complete with all the applications onto the Caviar HD.Sure enough, the G5 can see the Caviar HD with everything on it.
    However, when putting the Caviar HD in where the laptop drive once was, the G5 would not see the disk at all.
    So now, I'm reformatting the drive again but this time with OS9 checkbox ticked in Disk Utility. After this, I will install it into the machine alongside the offensively sluggish laptop drive, and as long as the G5 sees the Caviar HD internally, I will clone from there, rather than via USB hookup.
    I hope this way the system will speed up! There's no way the machine is running as it can do with a pokey little laptop drive in it spinning at 5k surely!
    I am assuming the Tiger 10.4.11 is genuine (I think it is - the X symbol is present on the folder), but I don't have the original disk...
    Any suggestions? Has anyone had this experience?

    Hi BDAqua... downstairs away from unit at the moment. It's a Western Digital Caviar Black 500Gig, twin processors, SATA3 / 6, 64Meg cache on-board... nice. Very quite with minimal vibration (slight).
    However as I'm here I can announce I've solved the problem! The G5 had an original Seagate Barracuda HDD on board as a slave drive. I backed up the dat off that onto the Caviar Black via USB adapter. Then Disk Utility wiped the Barracuda safely.
    Then, I installed SuperDuper! to clone the data from the sluggish laptop master drive onto the Barracuda; I also told SuperDuper! to boot the G5 from the newly image Barracuda.
    After it had done the job I switched off the machine (it may well have rebooted - I was downstairs watching England fail at Eurovision Song Contest), took out the laptop drive and started up the G5.
    Mercifully, it rebooted fine! All details and programs are intact and functioning right down to my screensaver.
    I can report that the machine is noticably (considerably in the case of Logic8 and JamPack) faster and swifter at sourcing data.
    Everything is backed up and I now have a speedier G5! Hurrah!!
    I now have a spare 80Gig drive to hand in a caddy (originally a spare backup) that was made about the same time as the G5. It's my guess that it would fit the G5 internally and probably be seen ok by the system.
    It's worth a try. The Caviar Black will have to go into a caddy and become my backup disk. It has a clone of the OS and all apps, so if something goes badly wrong, I'm safe.
    Just a thought: The more advanced Leopard and Snow Leopard OS may struggle in G5's because the OS itself may require faster HDD's that cannot go into the G5 normally? I see many reports of Snow Leopard running like a bag of bones in people's G5's. Perhaps it's something to do with data retrieval speeds?
    I'm sticking with Tiger!
    I hope this story has assisted someone somewhere... and many thanks to all you kind people who offer to help.

    I have a MAC Pro from 2011 currently running MAC OS 10.9.5.  This weekend I cloned the MAC HD drive to a new SSD drive for improved performance.  The clone was completed successfully with no errors.  After the clone completed I successfully restarted my system using the SSD as the boot device.  I then successfully tested all of my products, including Photoshop CS6 and all of its plug-ins.  I successfully tested the key features that I frequently use.  Today while attempting to launch Photoshop CS6 a message is being displayed indicating that a scratch disk cannot be found.  All drives are available on the system via the Finder and Disk Utility.  I can access all drives including the old MAC HD which is no longer the boot device.  I've even attempted to launch Photoshop from the old device yet the same error persist.  Is there a way to review/edit/change Photoshop preferences if Photoshop doesn't launch?  I've even restarted my system several times to see if that would resolve the issues.  Does anyone have any recommendations for this issue?  Have you previously address this issue? 
    Thank you Gregg Williams

  • Hi Group: I think my "Macintosh H.D." disappeared off my desk top when I cloned the drive in setting up ext drive. The space at top rt corner went blank, the drive shows in disk utility, startup window, in the finder it shows up as "my Mac Pro'Help"

    Hi Group:
    In trying to set up an ext Drive for different purpose, I cloned my Macintosh H.D. drive and saved on another drive. Then I cloned the data on the Ext, used my orig. DVD to install sy on it, 4 attempts before it would accept the install. Did a reboot to confirm install no luck, and noticed that the space at top rt of D/T blank, the 2nd,3rd,& 4th bay Drives appeared below a blank space. My Mac H.D. appears in startup window & D/U but in finder Pref it is listed as " my name Mac Pro". The desk top has stayed the same, I can use startup to S/U  in all drives with a Sy, including Macintosh H. D. altho no icon or other clue that I am booted in it.
    During all my attempts with cloning and saving etc I think I made it invisible. I am not comfortable to try Terminal to find out. I will be totally thankful for all suggestions.
    I am using a Mac Pro (2008) with OS 10.6.8
    The external drive is on Firewire
    I used Disk Utility to set up drive
    I used  CCC to clone
    Thanks Funoptics

    go to finder preferences then side bar. make sure hard disk is ticked.

  • Windows 7 Enterprise is not genuine after installing new hard-drive and cloning the old one

    I retired from my job as a university professor two years ago, and they let me keep my laptop computer, which is a Dell Latitude E4300 with Windows 7 Enterprise installed. I do not have any of the original disks for Windows. Recently, the hard-drive began
    to fail, so I replaced it with a new one, cloning the old hard-drive onto the new one. Soon after that, a popup window began appearing saying that this computer is not running genuine windows. One important consequence of this is that I can no longer use Windows
    Update, so I have concerns about security. If I go to the control panel under “System”, it says windows is activated and gives me the Product ID. I have talked to tech support at Microsoft, and they tell me something along the lines of the following: that
    the problem is the new hard-drive is not recognized as being licensed to use this copy of Windows, and that I should post a question on one of the forums asking this: How can I reinstall Windows 7 Enterprise on the new hard-drive? Any assistance will be much
    appreciated.
    PS I have no idea which forum this should go under, so pretty much just picked one randomly.

  • Would cloning the drive be appropriate course of action?

    Hello. I am considering purchasing my first Mac which is from liquidated stock originally owned by a film company. This is a new 2009 MacBook Pro 15.4" that will come loaded with quite a bit of high-end graphics software including Adobe CS4 Master Collection. The only issue is that the install disks for all the software are not included (we're talking about $4300 worth of software). I figure the company's IT people installed the software on the company Macs from the master disks. The software DOES include proper serial #s that have not yet been registered (according to the seller). I'm looking for a way to protect this software in case the drive fails as I won't have the disks to reinstall it. Would cloning the drive prior to using the MacBook be the appropriate and most effective way to do this? I apologize if this is a stupid question. Right now I'm using a PC and want to migrate to the Mac but do not want to spend the money on this particular Mac if not having the software install disks will create a headache in the future. (Other software preinstalled & without the installation disks includes: Aperture 2, Final Cut 2, Logic Express 8, Filemaker Pro 10 , Quark Xpress 8 and Toast 9 Titanium.
    Any advice from the Mac community would be MUCH appreciated! Thank you.

    Cloning the drive would make sense, but understand that this may not protect the software from requiring installers. Some software "knows" that it's been restored from backups and will require re-entering registration codes.
    The seller of the computer should provide you with the original software installer discs or copies, and you should ask for them as part of the sale. Without them you may not be able to reinstall the software or get product support.
    Making a clone of the drive helps, but it does not protect you against multiple drive failure or corruption that may render the drives unusable. Having installer discs is your best protection.

  • Question: Changing Essbase Unit in the Disk Drive

    Hello to all,We have to change Hyperion Essbase 5.0.2 p7 from unit F:\ to C:\ because unit f is near to dissapear. It?s posible to do this without export all databases and reinstalling the server???Thanks in advance,Eduardo Fern?ndez S?nchez

    If you are talking about the Essbase OLAP Server installation, the answer is no. I believe that you have to reinstall to change drives. Drive information is embedded in some of the server files and app files. Did you know that you can change the drive that the ind and pag files are stored by db? This is done on the storage tab of the database settings dialog. This might provide an option for allocating data to other/multiple drives.<br>--<br>Jeff McAhren<br>Dallas, Texas<br>

  • I have two hard drives on my mac 10.5.8 power pc and hear the clickking sounds of the first hard drive and think that it may be dying, can I install everything on the other hard drive also and wait for the first drvie to die before i use the other drives

    I have two hard drives on my mac 10.5.8 power pc and hear the clickking sounds of the first hard drive and think that it may be dying, can I install everything on the other hard drive also and wait for the first drive to die before i use the other drives? Or, what is the best way to handle this?

    I do not know what you are waiting for.
    I'd make a backup of your important stuff before cloning the entire disk.
    Carbon Copy Cloner will copy your startup drive to an external  firewire drive.  You can boot from the external drive to verify that you have a good clone. When you upgrade your existing startup drive, you can at any time boot from your external drive and go back to your existing system.
    http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html
    SuperDuper is the wildly acclaimed program that makes recovery painless, because it makes creating a fully bootable backup painless. Its incredibly clear, friendly interface is understandable, easy to use, and SuperDuper's built-in scheduler makes it trivial to back up automatically. And it runs beautifully on both Intel and Power PC Macs!

  • After The Hard Drive Swap?

    Hi All
    My Hard Disk swap didn’t go as smoothly as I hoped.
    My attempts to clone my old drive were unsuccessful because Carbon Copy Cloner froze twice on me almost at the end of the cloning process. I gave up with CCC because cloning 60GB over 400 Mbs Firewire takes hours and hours. I subsequently learned from replies on the Bombich software forums that I could have restarted from where it left off - I'll remember that if I ever have to do it again.
    I eventually managed to boot off the DVD drive. Because my disk was partially cloned, the installer thought that OS X was already on there and tried to upgrade the installation. This didn’t work, it wouldn’t boot. Eventually I realised what was going on, erased the drive first and then did a full install. I was then able to start off the new drive.
    I’m just doing all the Tiger updates through Software Update. While I wait for that to complete, I have two remaining issues to resolve:
    1. I now have no start up chime - although sound works. Can I fix that or is this a symptom that I’ve screwed up the repair?
    2. I have my old drive in a Firewire enclosure and can read it OK. I’d like to get my users and applications off it and onto the new drive. How would you recommend I do that? I don’t know if it makes sense to selectively clone Users and Applications independently of everything else.
    I’m sure all this is buried in some threads somewhere but my head is beginning to spin a bit. Hopefully you can help.
    Thanks

    Hi Swissfondue
    Thanks for responding. I started to use it before I got your post!
    I was going to reply after it completed to say if it was successful or not. I didn't see Migration Assistant referred to on the other threads about this issue that I've seen. In fact one or two specifically advise against trying to move users from one drive to another but maybe they were written before MA was available.
    My machine is going much faster with these upgrades Don't know whether to attribute it to the extra RAM or the new disk.

  • Can I move my operating system to a different partition on the same drive?

    I thought I knew what I was doing when I partitioned my hard drive and installed the operating system and everything else. The other partitions are for documents, photos, etc. It worked well for quite a while but now I find there is not enough free space on my start-up partition (24GB) to be able to do new installations. I have cleared a 50 GB partition on the same drive to be the new home of my operating system. I tried copying all the files in the System partition to the new drive but "Startup Disk" doesn't recognize the copied version. How can I make this work without having to install everything all over again?

    Too true. I have been partitioning my drives since the 80's when it was "illegal" and voided warranties as was opening the case on a Mac. Now the cases open right up and you drop and slide in new drives and memory. And it has saved my butt many many many times. You put your operating system on one partition, from what I have read it is best on the first partition of the first hard drive in the chain, Master, if you have more than one drive. I have four drives with now down to 8 partitions with the last two 10.4.x OS's that worked well and my last 10.5 for emergency use, all on one drive in separate partitions and boot to them all the time with no problems. I always keep my last install just in case intact and bootable. It's no different than what is done with BootCamp and running Windows. Then put all your data, files, non-Apple applications on another partition(s). That way when the OS hammers, and it will, all you have to recover is the OS and your data is safe. Thenall you really have to worry about is certain preferences and databases that have to be on the start up partition that won't work when aliased. I have found them, and they are few, and use Backup from the iDisk software library to back these files up to my iDisk nightly. And having the OS all by itself makes back ups so much easier and smaller. But you have to leave Apple applications on the OS partition in the Applications or Utilities folder or the Apple Updater will not see them.
    Before iTunes and iPhoto would allow you to link to databases that are not on the start up partition, I was aliasing those files from other partitions. Then early 10.5 it didn't work as well, now when you hold the option key prior to starting up in iTunes and iPhoto you'll get a window to go find or create any of many databases to run off of. I have done this for years with Apple, Microsoft, Macromedia, Adobe and many other applications.
    So far my largest OS has been 14.6GB after I installed GarageBand and it loaded a ton of instruments on to the OS partition. I have been through this before and found them and moved them off to another partition and aliased them back and GB works great. Otherwise, even in 10.5.x you can have relatively smaller partitions. And yes you want room to grow, if even just scratch disc space that some applications will not let you choose or go off the OS partition. So I hover around 25-30GB partitions and have never gotten close to getting more that 60% full, fulfilling the 10-15% free space axiom that seems to get larger with every update. I have read here that several people that had taken their machines to an Apple where they replaced drives saying that the techs partitioned the drives and said that the minimum for 10.5.x was 12GB. As the updates flow, that will vary probably up. Plus Apple has some bloated applications and a ton of things that you'll never need or use that take up room that are a pain to find, like unnecessary fonts. A little extra space is always good.
    I use CarbonCopyCloner to make compressed back ups and bootable clones. The older versions would not copy files that would be easily rebuilt when you booted that OS, thus cleaning up the clone/back up by cleaning/omitting files that normally get damaged. Not sure if that is part of the latest versions. I think they copy everything. Another great thing is that Apple installers and Disk Utility and can use them to restore or migrate from. Because of CCC, I now have it down to 10-15 to restore a crashed or failing OS from parts. I have yet to loose anything, except time in having to deal with an OS that sometimes has a mind of its own.
    As you play around as I did when I was waiting for an Apple Tech Rep, and reran the Combo Updater back over a wonky install, to find out if you could do that, it was done and worked great just as he returned and said no one there knew. I told him that I did and it worked great. We kept in touch for a couple of months to see if anything weird happened, which it didn't, and now it is suggested and common practice. Just as the Tech's and I whispered under our breath in the 90's about partitioning. Now they suggest it and Apple will talk to those that have partitioned. As you see needs and experiment you'll learn (trial by fire) and all this will become second nature. So don't think this is too much and go for it. Just make sure before you are completely comfortable, have another drive, I use 25GB Rewritable Blu-ray Discs, to do regular normal, CCC, back ups until you get the hang of it. This method yields 6-8GB compressed archives. Then you'll have a place for your stored back ups and whatnot. I was keeping up to 5 iterations, i.e.: 10.5.1a, b, c, d and e. Once my paranoia subsided I pared it down to two since I could easily recover the small amount that I have to now from small back ups that are mostly aliases relinking files that are safe on other partitions.
    So yes you can put/clone the OS to another partition. Just make sure you cover your bases, use an application made for cloning/backing up (CCC) and label your installs as not to have the same name on two OS's or you'll have a bit of a problem off the top remembering which is which. I'm on 10.5.5C2.
    Good Luck and Happy Partitioning.
