Hey,
I was checking out some of the posts about superduper and some people have mentioned that their backup does not have a .dmg file and that it is the same file hierarchy as your internal Macintosh HD. Mine is the same way but I was wondering how to boot from this. If your internal hd does crash or you want to go back to the previous version that you have on your external drive do you still just hold down the option key when booting and you will just be able to boot from your external drive?
Also I have a seadisk external hd but it is only through usb not firewire. I
also have an intel processor. From the stuff I have read I should be able to boot from this drive but wasn't totally positive. Do you know if it will only boot with firewire or does usb work too?
Sorry for the questions but I couldnt find the direct answers.
