Maybe a disk image program that takes a whole disk image? I think that should do it.

The original Alchemy works like older ProTools in that there is an
authorization on the disk that it puts onto your hard drive. I am
unaware of a way to copy the disk with the "authorization" intact. I
tried it with a ProTools disk once (before I had bought ProTools) and
never was able to do it- or a couple of my friends either :-(.
Anyone on the group know how to make a "backup" of this type of
protected disk? If so, I can try it. If successful, I could then get
the image uploaded and we could try it....
Too bad the company that bought the rights to Alchemy won't re-release
it- I know, I asked before I was able to finally find an original....
Thanks,
Ted
