[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1929942, member: 131855"] When I first started cloning the boot drive my intention was token the clone around for emergencies. In the event of a problem I would have been able to boot from a backup and get back up and running quickly. Eventually I started boosting/running from the clone and updated the internal drive as needeed (OS updates, new software added to the clone was also added to the internal drive, etc). Booting/running from the clone and using it as the primary drive is probably the best way to avoid the problem that concerns you. I'm going to do a bit of digging and see if I can find a more specific answer to your question. I'm not sure what Fusion drive failure would prevent booting from the external drive/clone if the clone is booting properly otherwise. [/QUOTE]
