[QUOTE="pine man, post: 1901177, member: 329282"] Following some research and testing I have come to the following conclusions. [LIST] [*]Both CCC and SD backups can be made bootable and do actually boot. [*]Both CCC and SD can then update the Data on a regular basis but neither program will update the operating system contained within that backup. [*]To update the operating system with both programs the backup disk is erased before the update takes place, so all previously backed up Data is lost. [*]The only difference that I can find between the two programs is that CCC does not recommend bootable backups whereas SD appears to encourage it by its marketing. [*]Both programs appear to suggest that is not necessary to actually create bootable backups as their use is limited. [*]I am running a paid for version of CCC and, at the moment, a free version of SD and cannot see any benefit in buying a copy of SD, which effectively does the same. [*]The only decision left is whether or not to make CCC create bootable backups and lose all historic data when I update the operating system in them!!
