When it prompts you, yes - that's your backup volume. The partition scheme doesn't matter for the migration. (The format type is not the same as the partition scheme.)
Nothing special to use SD!, no, but if your new Mac is an Intel, the drive should be repartitioned using the GUID/GPT partition scheme.

response re: Intel Mac and repartitioning

#1. Do I repartition the drive after I migrate? #2. After repartition as GUID/GPT, will I then lose all the information there? #3. After repartition, do I then point SD to one of the partitions on the drive? I am backing up now, off schedule, to see if I get any more error messages. Thanks a million Dave. Chuck S |

Yes, you repartition after you migrate. Unless you use iPartition, changing the partition scheme will erase the drive. And yes, the point of partitioning is to create a properly partitioned drive (even as one partition) so you can start up from it when you make your new backup, from the new Mac.

reformat/repartition
Quote:
many thanks for your responses. I will migrate when I receive my new MBP. After migration, do I then reformat the ext FW drive as GUID and _then_ repartition? I know this question may fall outside the Super Duper purview. I hope you have a moment to answer it. best, Chuck S |

GUID is not a format, it's a partition scheme. When you partition you'll chosoe both the partition scheme (GUID) and format (Mac OS Extended (Journaled)).
