(With the possible caveat that I remember reading several years ago that they didn't preserve certain kinds of metadata as well as some other software. But when all somebody wants to do is clone A to B, once, there's really no need for anything besides Disk Utility or asr (the command-line interface to the same functionality). If you need scheduled backups and fancy stuff like that, then sure, they're probably worth their (virtual) weight in gold. People are constantly recommending SuperDuper and CCC. I feel similarly about disk cloning software. So, unless there are some relevant known bugs in it, I see no reason to punt and suggest Toast at the first sign of trouble. But for basic needs, certainly including burning any preexisting ISOs, the built-in support should be perfectly fine. ![]() I seem to remember hearing about plenty that were related to burning audio CDs, for example. ![]() ![]() I don't think I've ever used it either, but it certainly has a lot more features than what's built into the OS. ![]() Why, when users are having problems burning discs, the first thing usually recommended is to use Toast? I've never owned the program (never had the need I guess), but what exactly does it offer that Disk Utility doesn't? I've had a long curiosity about something.
