Using Duplicate to clone your Drive or Volume

The Duplicate function copies all the information from the source drive to the destination drive. A copy of the source drive is made to the destination, so if you backup your startup drive, an exact copy of it is created with all information such as file permissions preserved.

Duplication can be used for copying one drive to another drive or to a disk image file.
