HH: Thanks for the reply and suggestion . . . w/o knowing about backintime, the problem with apple's time machine is that it doesn't make a bootable "clone" . . . it just backs up files from an install . . . but to move the files back there has to be an installed system . . . . The bootable clone moves everything needed to boot the system into a fresh partition . . . ready to boot . . . .
