Backups using Disk Clone
I apologize, but I lost the link/reference to the thread that talks about:
Backing up ENTIRE system using the disk cloning method and multiple hard disk drives... (for a laptop)
Specifically, I just forgot which way to do the drives:
If I am BACKING UP, do I 1) leave current drive in computer and put destination/backup drive in caddy, or 2) put current/source drive in caddy and put destination/backup (aka: new/next drive) in computer/laptop.
Again, sorry to post something I KNOW is on the forums, but I can't find it.

Thanks Grover.... So in MY case, where I am cloning to backup, I take the current disk and put in in the dock and clone from the dock/caddy to the "new" disk in the laptop.
DISCONNECT the dock and reboot... The laptop SHOULD perform exactly as it did with the other disk.
Same thing for a "restore" really, right...? The "backup" disk is the source disk... Put in caddy; clone to laptop HDD, disconnect caddy and reboot...
Thanks again! I should do this more so I don't forget. ;)

Grover, please take a look at my new post. I have basically the same problem/question. I can't clone to a second identical internal drive. I was able to do this no problems before with my older, smaller 80gb hard drives. Worked every time and I boot tested that cloned drive often. This is with a desktop, though.
