I have used SuperDuper to back up my entire iMac system to an external USB hard drive. Then, I tested the external hard drive by booting from that disk. Everything worked perfectly ! ! !

Question: Can I take that external hard drive with my iMac full backup to another Mac (mini-mac, for example) and boot that machine from the drive? Or will hardware differences make this impossible?

Thanks for your comments.
