Booting from Backup!

[Stauble]

I used Carbon Copy Cloner to create a bootable backup of my internal hard drive. I was wondering how you initiate the bootable backup if I do have an internal hard drive failure? Do I just plug the drive in and power the computer on? Are there any other steps/precautions I should consider.

Thanks

Hold down the option key when you boot and select the external HDD

From the System Preferences you can select the Start Up Disk as well
