After my disk crash today, I thought of the following:
If I have Smart Backup scheduled every night .. My primary disk goes bad and I boot off of the clone .. and during the debugging phase, I write zeros (secure erase) to the primary disk to test writes. My SuperDuper schedule is still active .. right? So .. Would it try to perform a Smart update to the clone (effectivly erasing it) based on the now null primary disk?
Are there any safeguards in place to not allow this?
