Sparse Bundle

Hi Dave,
Have been using SD for years. Recently had some trouble with 1Password upgrade and had the idea to copy an older 1PW application back from my SD Backup to my MBPro.....I got confused and gave up however in reading an old manual on SD I saw info re. Sparse Bundle -

I have always backed up directly from my MBPro hard drive to an external hard drive, a Seagate "Toaster" in an Icey Dock. Should I have a Sparse Bundle, for just in case? And what would be the advantages? I think the old sandbox no longer works - haven't even tried that as we moved to newer version of SD.
Thx for any explanations on those options.

I'm not sure how these relate. Copying an application back would (assuming a drag and drop insta00 just mean copying the application from /Applications, on the backup drive, to the /Applications folder on the source. So, not sure how you were confused.

You should definitely be copying directly to a drive if that's an option. Don't use an image or bundle. See this blog post:
