Chita Hunter walks through the steps of formatting an external hard drive for use as a Startup Drive, using Disk Utility Mac OS X 10.11.3 El Capitan. Creating an external backup startup drive is an essential part of your workflow. It keeps your data copied and safe and your work flowing, in the event that your computer has internal problems or dies. With a backup startup disk, you easily copy over it's contents to a new drive. You can even work from it, if you have to. If you don't have a startup backup disk, one day you will (not may) wish you did.
