They are just security conscious and focused on using their own silicon instead of relying on Intel (who have proven to be somewhat unreliable lately). Basically, a bootable backup drive is no longer really needed. it's unfortunate that companies like Bombich and ShirtPocket are caught in the change, but so were the buggy whip makers when Ford started making automobiles. They will need to pivot to the new reality or face the consequences of being inflexible. Both could, for example, simply acknowledge that with the new Apple Silicon full clones have lower value and focus on bringing a better backup option to folks who have Apple silicon. Up to now, I think ShirtPocket has done a better job of it. Bombich seems to me to be more in the "how dare they do that?" camp. We'll see how they react.</p></blockquote><p></p>
