You're making a mountain out of a mole hill. You don't need to back up
recovery partitions, since they are created automatically during
installation to a new drive, which is the way you should be doing it
anyway. Erase / format the drive, install OS X, then restore from
backup. It's very simple.

a new one is created during install.

yes it does. a recovery partition is created on the time machine drive
with lion and later.

Nope. You're wrong.

This is my Time Machine disk:

 $ diskutil list
/dev/disk3 (external, physical):
   #:                       TYPE NAME         SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:      GUID_partition_scheme              *3.0 TB    disk3
   1:                        EFI EFI          209.7 MB   disk3s1
   2:                  Apple_HFS Time Machine 3.0 TB     disk3s2

If your Time Machine disk has a recovery partition, you put it there.

  Effective with Lion 10.7.2, if you have Time Machine backups on a
  directly connected USB or FireWire drive with the GUID partition map
  scheme, it should have a copy of the Recovery HD (after your first
  backup on 10.7.2 or later).  So if your internal HD is damaged, you

Doesn't look like a recovery partition to me, it looks like an emergency
boot partition. It is considerably smaller than the recovery partition,
but I have not tried to boot from it.

My suspicion is that it allows only for a TM restore.

I can't find anything on apple's sites official documentation on this,
just random stuff in the discussions.

it's a backup of the recovery partition and is actually bootable, but
it will need to pull other resources from the internet to do a full
install.

that's what it's for.

apple did mention it in a tech note about time machine but they no
longer explicitly spell it out. they do mention the 'Recovery partition
of your Time Machine backup' here:

I set up the two backup volumes, but the Boot OS X volume was 
installed by OS X installer.  There's not much on the volume, but I've 
booted to my local backup disk more than once.

Are you implying that "Boot OS X" is the same as "Recovery Partition"

The recovery partition on my boot rive looks like this:

 3:                 Apple_Boot Recovery HD             650.1 MB disk0s3

As you can see, it is named "Recovery HD" and is 650MB, not 134MB

The Boot OS X is capable of mounting 
/Volumes/[Time Machine volume]/Backups.backupdb/.RecoverySets/1/com.apple.recovery.boot/BaseSystem.dmg.

While somewhat smaller than the Apple_Boot Recovery HD, it still 
contains the same utilities, allows restorations from Time Machine 
backups and can run the installer.

$ open /Volumes/[Time Machine volume]/Backups.backupdb/.RecoverySets/1/com.apple.recovery.boot/BaseSystem.dmg

$ ls /Volumes/OS\ X\ Base\ System/
Applications                etc
Install OS X Yosemite.app   private
Library                     sbin
System                      tmp
Volumes                     usr
bin                         var
dev

$ diskutil list disk3
/dev/disk3
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:     Apple_partition_scheme                        *1.3 GB     disk3
   1:        Apple_partition_map                         30.7 KB    disk3s1
   2:                  Apple_HFS OS X Base System        1.3 GB     disk3s2

To me, it looks as though there's enough present to do a restore, run 
Disk Utility, Network Utility and Terminal.

Ah, interesting. Is this documented anywhere (since I did look at
Apple's site where it is famously easy to find all the ... no, sorry, I

Yep, seems like it. Thanks for the details.

it does sort of...
As you can have backups of several Macs (with different OSs) on the same 
backup volume it does not place it as a seperate partition, but as 
hidden files within Backups.backupdb.

In the process of restoring Time Machine will create a Recovery 
partionion on the destination drive.

you can boot from the Time Machine backup, run Disk Utility to formst 
from there and then restore.

Ah. I didn't know TM backups were bootable. I'll have to try that!

You better hope the drop didn't damage other hardware related to disk
access, or you may be wasting money replacing the wrong part. Best to let
Apple give it a full diagnostic before purchasing anything.

Given that the computer was not being used when it was dropped, it is
highly unlikely that a drop would damage the HD surface. In all
likelihood, the drop caused some internal damage to the computer which
replacing the HD will not fix.

In short, buying an SSD at this point without a clean bill of health
on the computer would be foolish.

Then, how come my client couldn't boot up his MBP after a day of the 
incident in regular, safe, and verbose boots? After he came back, I 
tried to run Disk Utility's verification and repairs which both failed 
and told me to restore. I did that after about three hours. Everything 
looked good, but I was still worried. I went to SMARTreporter. It said 
all green passed, but its SMARTmontools' logs showed very scary results 
which confirmed by other readers.

Any catches on restoring from an old Mac OS X v10.8.5 Time Machine HDD backup to new SSD on a 13.3" MacBook Pro (9,2; MD102ll/A)?
