[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1739307, member: 83420"] Only today, I suffered a kind of shock to the system. In a thread ([url]http://www.mac-forums.com/apple-desktops/338103-faulty-logic-board.html?highlight=[/url]), the OP booted from Time Machine (TM), went to Disk Utility (DU) and sorted out his problem. I asked the OP how he could possibly boot from TM and was directed to this Apple Support link: [url]https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201250[/url] Reading to the very bottom of this link, it says "In OS X Lion v10.7.3 or later, you can also start up from your Time Machine disk, if necessary. Hold down the Option key as your Mac starts up. When you see the Startup Manager screen, choose “EFI Boot” as the startup disk." (Dated November 2016) Maybe I have misread or misunderstood the Apple document - have we been wrong - can TM be bootable, albeit in a very different way from Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) or SuperDuper! (SD!)? Ian [/QUOTE]
