    Ive just created a SuperDuper image of my Mac (Snow Leopard) onto a USB2 external HDD.

    I want to replace my HDD with a new one. Once Ive done that what are the steps to booting off of the external drive via USB and restoring my image?

    Im new to the MAC so Im unsure of the process. With a windows system I would press F12, or change the boot order in the BIOs - but I see there is no BIOs etc on the MBP...

    Sorry I read the help and figured it out.

    Keep the option button pressed on power up to boot from the USB drive / image.
    Then run SuperDuper as normal and copy from backup to the local HDD.
