Thanks for the Reply. Sorry you confused me a little. Are you saying that if I choose "Copy different files from Macintosh HD to Backup" my Drive won't be bootable?

I read in the manual that if I choose "Backup - all files" that this type of backup is bootable and creates a complete backup of the selected volume. So if I choose "Backup - all files" my destination drive will be bootable.

Now if I understand you correctly, you are saying if I want my "destination" drive to be bootable that it also depends on what sub-menu (below) I choose? I thought as long as I had "Backup - all files"chosen that my drive would be bootable? Confused!!

"Smart update Backup from Macintosh HD"
"Copy newer files from Macintosh HD to Backup"
"Copy different files from Macintosh HD to Backup"
