In fact, creating a bootable duplicate is perhaps the simplest thing to do with Get Backup Pro. It makes clones with aplomb, and does a lot more as well.

There are other utilities for creating bootable duplicates, but if you’re not currently using one, or aren’t happy with the one you’re using, check out Get Backup Pro from BeLight Software.

My bootable duplicate has saved my bacon many times. In the meantime, you can plug your bootable duplicate in to another Mac - perhaps an old machine or one you borrow from a friend - and get right back to work. Why clone your disk? Let’s say you have to take your main Mac in for repair, and you’ll be without it for a few days. All Mac users should use Time Machine (or a comparable app that creates versioned backups) for individual file recovery, make offsite backups to protect against theft or catastrophe, and create regular bootable duplicates, sometimes referred to as clones. As the saying goes, “two is one and one is none,” but three is even better. Yes, I said that three times, and for good reason.
