[QUOTE="Sawday, post: 1813998, member: 22882"] In addition to an external TM backup disk, I am using another for SuperDuper Archives. This disk currently has two partitions, one has a close of my iMac internal drive, the other am archive copy of a particular important folder. I propose to add a third partition to this particular external drive and use the new partition for a SuperDuper backup of my wife's MacBook Air, prior to installing Mojave. THis is not meant to be a long term solution - just a belt and braces backup should the update fail. I should add that I do copy (the very few) data files from my wife's laptop to my iMac at least weekly and these are included in my TM backup. My question is this: should it be necessary to restore the MacBook Air backup, will the Superduper backup of that machine be bootable - ie is the 'bootable' part associated with each partition or the external drive as a whole? I don't propose to restore any backup to the 'wrong' machine. Any and all advice would be welcome. [/QUOTE]
