[QUOTE="Thumpernator, post: 1616220, member: 265657"] My machine is a 21.5 Mid 2011 machine running Maverick 10-9-5. The HD is partitioned for iMac and Bootcamp. I do plan to upgrade to Yosemite after the next update or so. I'm in no hurry. Anyway, just to be ready in case bad things happen when I do, I wanted to have a bootable backup of Mavericks beforehand. I already have a My Passport drive hooked up and am using it for Time Machine. I bought another My Passport drive and used CCC to clone my iMac drive. After I did this, I got to thinking that maybe I should have partitioned the new drive and backed up the iMac in one part and Bootcamp in the other. Or, can I just do another clone and this time select Bootcamp with the new drive as it's destination. Will that clone/backup mess up the first one? Hope that makes sense. Need some advice. Thanks in advance to you gurus who help us not so computer savoy guys out. [/QUOTE]
