Thanks for the feedback, Michael. So it sounds like re-booting from the clone isn*t currently possible on M2 Macs using Monterey, as I have (or before), and the problem won*t be solved by using a...

Thanks, Dave, but some of what you say is a bit above my head; I'm simply interested in whether/how I can boot from the clone with my M2 MBA. (The Safe Mode trial was unsuccessful with the Toshiba...

NAS/Drive over WiFi: reliability?
I'd be more than willing to use this, but I'm not tech savvy enough to be sure I understand (and I don't want to spend money on something that won't work). Doesn't this connect over my local WiFi -...

Time Machine replacement?

Feature Request: Clone Whole Disk
I have two volumes on my disk, the main boot volume and TTP's eDrive (actually, I think there's a 3rd, the OS's recovery volume), and some users may have even more. SD only clones 1 volume...
