[QUOTE="quizzical, post: 1576241, member: 322538"] Another more obscure reason for having a bootable clone is that you can use it as a sandbox for example if you have some software to install, and you suspect it may possibly cause some problems, or if you remove it you don't want any trace of it on your system. Or if you simply want to do an update but you are a bit concerned that you may not like it and won't be able to revert back, then you can boot from your bootable clone and do the installation there, check it out thoroughly and if you don't like it just ignore it and boot back into your system, the clone will be restored next time you update it. I presume that CCC has a smart update function like SuperDuper where it only updates what has changed. [/QUOTE]
