My second question was that is it needed for regular back up strategy or is it mainly for people working with new/unstable applications? I think all Apple updates are safe. For obvious reasons, I dont save that password in my keychain. Superduper wont do a scheduled backup unless I enter the password first. Lion has a similar solution built in, a recovery partition. On my MBP running FileVaulted Sierra (early 2009 iMac running El Capitan), I encrypted my backup disk using the simple encryption capability (right-click after disk mounted) so my backup is also encrypted.
I don't see it as a play ground, for that I would have a separate larger partition that would allow for apps and data. I have such a system on an 8GB USB drive. It's there so that you can create and maintain a small bootable system for maintenance and recovery. Isn't it? If we do get attacked by some future virus, will it prevent harming the original system? Can I use the Time Machine for regular backups along with sandbox?

However, won't we loose all the previous updates or applications down loaded while using the sandbox? The guide says that one should boot using original drive to down load all the tested updates but doesn't explain how to switch from sandbox to original drive. I do understand that 'sandbox' is seperate from regular backup where it only backs up the system files and it takes the place of original drive for booting and one can experiment with new updates and shady softwares and if some thing happens one can boot from original hard drive. I booted from the back-up, and have been working in it all morning. However as I mentioned earlier, I wrote my previous message after reading the article. Overnight last night, I ran SuperDuper 2.1.4 for the first time to make a bootable back-up of OS X 10.4.10 on a partition on my external FW HD connected to my G4 Quicksilver.
