I vaguely recall hearing that in the olden days, Macs would not boot from USB drives. Today, Intel Macs can boot from USB. Earlier today, when I verified booting my G4 iBook from the CCC backup on my APM external hard drive, I connected via FireWire 400. Using USB now, no joy. The backup volume shows on the iBook's Desktop, but it does not show in Start Disk.
