Disabling Startup Mode Security Mac With T2 Chip
I am getting ready to setup a refurb 2018 Mac Mini. I'm aware that starting-up from a bootable clone is impossible without entering Recovery Mode and disabling startup security mode.
What I haven't been able to find out is whether this can only be done on a incident-basis or whether I can perform this task one time and I will be able to boot from a startup disk forever. My concern is that if it can only be done when a problem arises, if Recovery Mode is not accessible for some reason, then the bootable clone won't be usable either. I can appreciate some of the inherent advantages of the T2 chip but there are some considerable downsides as well. (Has anyone heard if Apple has addressed the audio glitch affecting Macs with a T2 chip?) I may have decided against this Mac Mini purchase if I had been better informed about the T2 chip issues. . . |

It's a NVRAM setting and need only be done one time.

I have a new Mac mini with the T2 chip and I’ve been doing a daily backup to an external drive using the latest version of Super Duper. Trying to understand this - is my backup unusable unless I go into recovery mode and change the settings?

You can't boot from an external device unless you turn on the ability in recovery. The backup itself is fine, but the system won't allow boot until you allow it.

OK so if I don’t allow it, in the event of a internal disk crash I could still restore to a new disk/computer as long as it had an OS on it?
