"running from the backup" - not clear

sorry mate, not clear about what you might mean from this short phrase.

a. buy SD
b. use it to make a bootable clone backup of any Mac HD
c. check it worked by booting from the clone

this is the loop.

What fails is step c. At step c. I see the external drive if I hold down Option key during startup - but the external clone never loads. I would know which drive booted my Mac because I can see the icon in the upper right of screen - it will not be the regular Macintosh HD icon (grey) but an orange and white icon.

What are you referring to specifically ?
