To anyone affected in or by Japan's crisis, I want to just say I am so sorry.

OK, my question: with our Intel iMacs, can we use any external hard drive as a system backup? Can you boot up on them? Do they have to be Firewire?

I have an iomega, and yes, it's got Firewire. I do complete backups on it frequently but have never had to boot
from it ...
