Good theory, but those of us using USB external drives are out of
luck(won't boot from them). I have been randomly testing time machine
backups by opening desktop from last week, etc. Maybe I'm leaving too
much to chance, but changing the hard drive in my trusty eMac is a
major undertaking(removing logic board, etc.) Just had a thought.... I
have an old iMac G3 kicking around. Can I use this as a firewire
backup drive by starting it in target mode and cloning to it?
