[QUOTE="honestone33, post: 1831428"] You did not answer my question above, regarding "Where did you get this notion that Diskmaker X relies on Spotlight?". And I just stated above that DiskMaker X [B]does[/B] provide a manual way to finding the installation file. As it is, I suspect it has always behaved that way, ie, the way I described it (ie, not immediately finding that file) is the way it normally works. Also, based on your statement above, "I've never tried it as I don't need it with multiple bootable volumes readily at hand.", it looks like you have [B]never[/B] used Diskmaker X. Hence, how can you say that it depends upon Spotlight (which obviously it does not)? Finally, I also have 2 other bootable backups for each of my Macs on external SSDs, but based on Rod's post #28, he makes an excellent point about having a bootable installer on a USB Flash Drive. It's an excellent contingency in case a bootable device has issues (like he apparently once did with CCC). [/QUOTE]
