I always do a test boot from my clone after I do a smart update just to check. It began to occur to me that something weird might happen if during the test boot from the clone, that Time Machine became active and started doing a backup. I'm not sure how that would work out. So I started opening Time Machine preferences and turning it off before I do a smart update, then do the smart update, then do my test boot from clone, then reboot to my internal HD and then turn Time Machine back on. I'm not sure if this is overkill or not. Any ideas? Thanks.
