Put Lion "Recovery HD" on USB In an attempt to save some space on my ssd, I used SuperDuper to clone Recovery HD to a USB drive. But when I booted up my Mac holding the option key I only got the ssd and Recovery HD as alternatives.

Does anyone have an idea as to how I can clone Recovery HD to an external drive/memory stick and then remove it from the boot drive?
The best answer is one supported by Apple.

Why not use the new Lion Recovery Disk Assistant to make your USB bootable media.

The only requirements are listed as:


A Mac running OS X Lion with an existing Recovery HD
An external USB hard drive or thumb drive with at least 1GB of free space
