I have been using carbon cloner for sometime. I back up every week to an external HD. It always mentions this is a bootable drive. How can I boot using this drive...I just want to test it out.
 
The easy way:

Shut down your Mac.

Start up your Mac while holding down the OPTION (Alt) key.

During the start up process, a screen will show displaying your boot options via disc icons. Select the one that you want, in this case your external one.
