[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1899209, member: 190607"] As of a few weeks ago, BOTH can now create a fully functional bootable external backup clone under Monterey. Both companies worked directly with Apple to make this happen. A clone is as useful as any other type of backup, and probably much more so. It's true that you can't boot from a bootable clone if your M1x-based Mac has a dead internal SSD. But if your internal SSD in your M1x-based Mac is dead, YOUR ENTIRE MAC IS DEAD FOR EVERY SINGLE PURPOSE. It won't run again, for any purpose, unless you get it repaired. (Likely requiring a replacement motherboard.) That's not a failing of your clone backup (or any other sort of backup), it is completely how your M1x-based Mac is. Your bootable clone backup will still work to boot up a different Mac (allowing you to get back to work immediately), assuming that your OS is compatible with that other Mac (so your clone backup may actually be much more valuable than a TimeMachine backup, which you can't boot and immediately work from), and your bootable clone backup will still work with your M1x-based Mac once it is repaired.
