Usage

Both source and destination can be either a system device from /dev or a file with the extension .img, for example: /dev/disk4, /files/dd.img
The app has only been tested on Mac OS 10.6.x

Warning

If you choose the wrong device as the destination, you can erase important data! Proceed with caution.

Feel free to merge the code and make changes of your own! Submit pull requests and issues on github.
