If yes, can I make the copy into a new partition of an existing external hard drive (not the one that has the Time Machine back up on it)? Is it advisable to have a complete copy (e.g.17 Hit or Miss for main bay with 6Gbp/s SSD, no-go with 6Gbp/s SSD in optical bay. to the SSD once it's installed in my MacBook and the OS is up and running, from the Time Machine back up?
