Hello, I am running the latest High Sierra on an iMac with SSD. I have an external USB 3 disk for time machine backups and from time to time as a a SuperDuper backup. This external disk is encrypted using my logon password. I am trying to boot my iMac from the latest SuperDuper backup. I set the external disk as my startup disk in system preferences and then restart. Shortly thereafter I start VoiceOver which says “User Name’ but with no edit area to enter the name into. I tried entering my logon name but to no effect. I recall that booting from an encrypted disk in El Capitan I had to start VoiceOver which then bleeped once to tell me to enter my user name and when that was OK bleeped twice to tell me to enter my logon password and when that was OK bleeped three times. Is this now different in High Sierra? As far as I can tell from disk utility the external disk is formatted as Mac OS extended journaled and is using the guide partition table which all looks correct. The startup disk panel in system preferences shows the external disk as a bootable disk for Mac OS 10.13.4 so it all ought to work. Any ideas?
