Hi - a bit of a related question. You do have to have a bootable drive 
to make the
backup bootable, right?

As I recall, I didn't get a bootable drive based on capacity needed and 
price/point.

I figured I'd reinstall using original system disks if a problem, then 
restore all backup files from Dantz Retrospect, which came with my 
drive and I've been using without problems.

Any notes to add on recovery procedures?
