It's a temporary issue as eventually ALL new Macs will be Mx, but for now, you would need a second M1 machine to make what you want to do work. And at that point, a bootable backup could be useful again. Most of us simple users, however, are unlikely to have a second M1 backup machine like a business might. It's not that boot-ability is dead, as much as it is much less useful. At some point the cost/benefit of paying for a bootable backup has to be recalculated. And that's really all that I have been saying--I'm rethinking my backup plan for when I get a new M1 system and the old approach doesn't work the same way.</p></blockquote><p></p>
