Hi Everyone,
While I think I already know the answer to my question, I am wanting to figure out if something can be done. I am wanting to see if there is any way possible to convert a Mac OS X disk image to a VMWare compatible format that will allow me to boot the image in Fusion.
The big thing I am wanting to do is have Carbon Copy Cloner create a disk image in a remote location and back up the Mac OS X boot drive to it daily. In the event of a catastrophe, I would like to convert that disk image to something that Fusion could boot up. I'm essentially trying to stitch together a solution similar to what the PC people do when they virtualize a server in the event of a fire, flood, tornado, etc.
I found this discussion online that is close to what I want to do, but not sure if it is exactly what I need. The link below seems to focus on converting a physical, booted disk directly to a VMWare disk image. While this is close, I want to do the same thing but the source be a disk image that is stored off site, ready for conversion at the snap of a finger.
I know it's a tall order, but has anyone played around with this or now of a way to accomplish this, even if it is a messy process?
