[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1882335, member: 396914"] TM is bootable, but only to the recovery screen where you can choose to reinstall the OS and then recover from TM. Useful, sort of, if the drive hasn't failed. But if the drive fails, a clone can be used until the drive is replaced. Now, with the Apple Silicon integrating the "drive" with the System-on-a-Chip (SoC) in the M1, a "drive" failure is basically catastrophic to the entire system, so the value of a bootable external drive is greatly diminished. An M1 system with an internal "drive" failure will require a logic board change to repair the "drive," so a TM backup may be perfectly sufficient. Which makes products like CCC and SD! of less value because even if they *could* make a bootable backup, on an M1 system that basically gets you nothing. (Or very little. I suppose a bootable external could let you complete a task, but you still have to be without the Mac while the logic board is being replaced eventually.) [/QUOTE]
