[QUOTE="Eljeffo64, post: 1500288, member: 289369"] OK; quick sanity check - i've just made a bootable clone on an xtnal usb hdd, time machine is set up and running on a network hdd. If the worse happens one day in the distant future (after my imac extended guarantee and support has finished ) I can boot on the clone drive and clone back to a working drive inside the imac (or on the existing one if it's healthy) then use a time machine backup to restore to the latest config and look. Am I correct in my understanding please? My web access is poor and I get really bad dl speeds (half a meg best) so a complete re-install from the net would be a pain! I don't want to re-clone all the time so I'm hoping this one with the latest time machine file is adequate :-) Thanks [/QUOTE]
