Dave, thanks for the quick response. I had a backup to the ext. drive (as performed via the basic backup window in SD). I connected the firewire cable, saw the ext. disc mount, then went to Disk Utility and selected the ext. HD image, then clicked restore. It started the restore and as previously noted probably got about 10% into the process when it pulled up a gray, checkerboard appearing window on the screen saying that I needed to restart the computer by pressing the power button. I'll try your suggestion here momentarily.
