I do that for two main reasons: >1. Doing so adds only a trivial amount of data & time to the backup. For sure. >2.

What good is a disk that becomes bootable if one can't boot from a USB drive anyhow. Are you talking about taking that bootable disk and inserting it in the computer? If so, why isnt' a clone good for that too. And by the way, it says that one cannot boot from a USB drive, but when I bought my HP Desktop computer 4 or 5 years ago, I was able to boot it from a clone of the previous HDD in a USB dock. Unfortunately, the refurbisher had sent the wrong model and when I got the right model, an EliteDesk, it could not boot from that particular clone. >I haven't been following micky's story closely, so I don't know if my >approach would work for him.
