In this spirit in my opinion TM architecture has a big defect because the TM HD is NOT bootable (and other 'minors' not subject of this post) . *2) As I don't think that TM architects didn't think about that (see *1)) I have to ''accept'' that TM is designed as IS.

That's a pity and if you like or dis-like window-dressing. How to make an obvious reliable, fast and non-HD-costly and secure backup tool is NOT a secret or matter of science or technical enigma: it's a matter of or doing it or having other tendency. Point.
