Installation Media for ProTools 5.1.3 on OS 9

[Qucifer]

I'm not sure if this is exactly the right place to post this. I would appreciate any advice or leads if it isn't.

I have a colleague who has and still regularly uses an OS 9-based ProTools 5.1.3 TDM-based system.

He bought the system from AValive in the Raleigh area about a decade ago and either didn't receive or lost the installation media for PT 5.1.3.

He intends to keep using this system, we just want to make sure he's got solid restoration paths if this system needs to be rebuilt in the event of a crash or other issue.

What would be the best method of getting a new copy of the installation media for PT 5.1.3?

Thanks in advance,
Q

Even looked at trying to buy a single support incident from Avid, and I'm not sure which one would be applicable.

Any advice would be really appreciated?

Get a suitable (i.e. works for your OS version) boot-drive imaging app. Perhaps Carbon Copy or SuperDuper. Take an image of the working boot drive. If things ever get wonky, just restore back to this boot-drive image. It's always a good idea to store boot images. Hope this helps!
