You don't need nor is there an equivalent software like CCC or SuperDuper for OS 8.6. You simply drag and drop the contents of the hard drive you want to back up to another hard drive -- and it will be bootable. There is no "cloning" procedure -- just drag and drop.

If you find the copy is not bootable, then the simplest procedure you'll probably have to do is "bless" the system folder. Simply open the "System folder" folder, then locate a file called "System" (it will most likely look like a suitcase with a Mac "happy face" on it). Move (do not copy!) the "System" file to your Desktop, then drag it back into the "System folder." Your system folder is now "blessed" and should be bootable.
