[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1387395, member: 131855"] A bootable clone is a copy of your Mac's internal hard drive -- including all of the system files needed to boot the computer from the external drive. If the internal drive were to fail you could power up the Mac while holding down the Option key and select the external drive and boot from there. In the event of a computer disaster you can be back up and running in the time it takes to reboot. I Have run that way for a couple of days before while waiting for Apple to ship me a replacement hard drive (old one croaked while still under Applecare). [/QUOTE]
