They maintain that you need to make a Boot partition on the backup HD and then boot from that BEFORE running the backup from your regular HD. I have not been doing that.
Would like to know from those who know more about this...

I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do about backing up my new iMac. In researching different software and hardware I've come up with a few questions that I hope some of the folks here can answer.
After years of working with various solutions, I believe that the answer for TODAY'S large hard drives and complex OS's is actually a simple one, and very inexpensive over the life of the machine:
An external FW hard drive of similar or greater capacity than the internal drive, and a copy of Carbon Copy Cloner.
