I just finished my first back-up with my registered version of SD. I tried to boot from the ext drive but the system went gray and hung after selecting the WD Mybook FW800 drive as the boot drive. I saw your last post about using GUID and I'm a bit confused.
I used OS X extended for the format type when preparing the drive and I'm guessing that really does not matter because SD erases and formats it anyway...
I check the Partition type on the ext drive using drive utility and it is Apple_HFS.

Is it possible it won't boot because it is divided into two partitions by boot camp?

By the way thanks for all the help and if you want me to move this to a different thread let me know.
