[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1899273, member: 83420"] I have been much impressed by the diligence and wisdom of those who have posted recently (Jake, Charlie & Randy in particular). For a large majority of the rest of us, the complexities involved in using a cloned backup for recovery mean that a cloned BU has lost its place as a simple, straightforward tool. Of course, it can apparently be done in certain circumstances for Intel Macs depending on the OS, but is much less of a utility for M1 Macs and, likely, their successors. As many of our members struggle to understand Time Machine - how to set it up; how to recover data from it, and the dangers of tinkering with the file structure via Finder - asking them to read & understand the excellent, but complex advice from Mike Bombich or Dave Nanian which changes from week to week, is a challenge too far. As a utility, cloned backups have lost much of their attraction. A very personal opinion, obviously. Ian PS I shall continue to use mine, but fear the day it's needed:)o_O:unsure: [/QUOTE]
