Just following up on this. I never did check after 12.6 but I just installed Venture 13.1 and did an Erase and Backup with SuperDuper 3.7.2 to my external SSD. The SSD shows up in System Preferences and also when using "Startup Options" on boot. But when I try to boot with it I get about 5 mm of the progress bar and it quits. When I had chosen from System Preferences the failure seems to be it tries over and over again until I reboot with the power button and when I used the "Startup Options" it seemed to fail by switching to the internal SSD which boots.

As I said before I'm happy that I've got the data on the data volume and if I ever needed it I would just use Migration Assistant anyway so I don't need the option of booting anyway.

Regards Michael
