So I have no choice...

OK, I decrypted the drive overnight in the Finder and I was able to boot into it. So that must mean the recovery partition was already on it, yes? I'll see how the new encrypted El Capitan goes.

You mean I reinstall the OS over the top of the clone? Sorry that I'm not getting this fully. I don't mind completely redoing the clone if there's a easier way to do this.

Does that mean that SD can update while decrypting on the fly? Or do I first unlock it before smart updating? Also is this the same level of encryption as file vault? Also just to be clear, when you...

Hi thanks for the reply, yes I just wanted to check though that SD still does put related files together when making a new clone and that I'm not imagining it.

Hi Dave, it's been going a half hour and it's moved up to 20Mb/sec so that is slow but a lot better. I've just added it to the privacy pane now but it didn't seem to make much difference. Yes USB.
