[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1471499, member: 24160"] My understanding with Time Machine, is that some software that writes to system folders will still need to be installed separately - e.g. they won't work upon restoring them from Time Machine. A cloned drive allows you to clone your new drive exactly the same and does not require the time spent installing the OS separately, nor the need for reinstalling any software. [/QUOTE]
