I've been fooling around with Ubuntu on a virtual machine and I've decided I'd like to install it on my Macbook Pro 5,1. This will be a dual-boot system (OS X & Ubuntu).
Currently I use SuperDuper! to clone my hard drive to an external firewire drive. After I have Ubuntu installed, how are back ups handled?
1. After installing Ubuntu, when I clone my drive with SuperDuper! will the Ubuntu system also be copied?
2. After running a dual-boot system for some months, If for some reason I decide I no longer want Ubuntu on my system can I delete the Ubuntu partition and then use a recent SuperDuper! backup to restore my OS X system?
I don't know enough about boot partitions, EFI, and Master boot records to know if SuperDuper! will be copying this information and hence create an unusable OS X system.
Any information, links, etc. the community can provide would be greatly appreciated.
