Here's the caveat: When making scheduled "bootable" backups, the System volume doesn't get updated after the initial ASR backup. Only the Data volume gets updated on the schedule. And this will make the two fall out of sync. So, I don't update my bootable Big Sur backups at all. I use those drives as bootable utility drives. My scheduled Big Sur backups from my work-desktop and work-laptop are only backing up the Data vol.

I guess since I have other Macs, jic, I'll stick to data only for the time being. And perhaps make a bootable b.u. on a thumb, if only not to wait for a spinner.
