With a Time Machine and Clone backup on the same HDD, is the Clone bootable?

[Libertine Lush]

I'd like to place a Time Machine and Clone backup on the same HDD, which I understand is possible. However, if I'd like the Clone backup to be bootable, does it need to reside in it's own partition or can I simply plop it onto the HDD alongside the Time Machine backup on the same partition. (I've never made an image/clone backup or a partition before.)

Thank you.

Yes, the clone is bootable, even if the TM backup resides right with it. That's how mine is set up, and it works great.

Wonderful! One less worry. Thanks for your help.
