OK, my question: with our Intel iMacs, can we use any external hard
drive as a system backup? Can you boot up on them? Do they have to
be Firewire?
I have an iomega, and yes, it's got Firewire. I do complete backups
on it frequently but have never had to boot
from it ...
I can boot any external HDD either GUID or Apple Partition Map on my
Intel machines as long as the system is compatible with the machine.
USB or Firewire will boot on all as far as I know.
