[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1036601, member: 46727"] Why are you backing up to a sparseimage? Since you're using CCC, just format the external HDD to use HFS Journaled & GUID. Direct CCC to "clone" the contents on your internal HDD to the external. The external will then be bootable just like your internal drive. If the internal drive fails, you can use the external to boot and run your machine until you get a new drive. No need to create an image and then have to use your install DVD to boot the machine in order to restore. Regards. [/QUOTE]
