Hi Phil, Yes that's all there is to it. I have recovered my iMac from SuperDuper! backups several times and it has always worked. I used Smart Update to create the backup which usually takes about 20 minutes. the recovery also takes about 20 minutes. It was nerve racking the first time I did it, but I am now confident that it will work. Before doing each backup I use the VO Utility to temporarily change the VO startup message to include the date of the backup so that I can identify the backup if I ever need to restore it. Good luck!
