That was easier than expected but I think changing to AFPS is actually necessary. I was having trouble getting it to recognise a startup disk without that.

Secure Boot: MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2018)

I'm just setting up a new Mac. I wanted to test external booting and realised the A2 in my new Mac makes this a little more complicated to set up.

What software would I need to do that? The disks are not the same type. Would PC software like ghost or acronis work if I hooked the drives up to a PC?

Should I make the names of the drives on the two machines identical?

I also noticed that my user folder switched from

myname To myname1

Is that significant?

MailMe notifications are blank with latest version of SuperDuper!
