[QUOTE="lightninganth, post: 1679795, member: 360875"] Hello,after probably twenty years I finally got fed up with the other operating system and purchased an IMac (one month ago)and I have to say I really love it and probably should have done this years ago.That being said,I have a few basic questions concerning backups mostly.First I created a bootable installer via the Terminal command lines for Yosemite,and then installed the upgrade to El Capitan-do I need to remake the bootable installer to work with El Capitan?Also I have a Seagate external disk for backup using the Time Machine app.Am I to understand that this is not bootable if there is a problem,correct?Also when I look in the Start Up disk utility I don't see the external hard drive or the USB installer when it is mounted-but they do show up on my screen when I restart and hold down Command.Is this how it should be or am I missing something?Hope I didn't pile on too many questions and thanks in advance!
