Having your own physical installer media is just the next step in making sure, no matter what happens, you can get your Mac set up immediately, after disaster strikes. I’ve previously talked about the importance of backing up your shit, and even shared some tips for setting up Time Machine on a Synology NAS, and selectively backing up to a USB drive with rsync. Call me old fashioned, but something about that scares me a bit. Time moves on though, and years ago Macs stopped coming with physical installer media. Back then, Macs came with installer disks ( CDs in the case of the iBook G3) and new releases of OS X would be sold, again as physical disks, for £79. My first Mac was a 2001 “Dual USB” iBook G3. Is Diskmaker X taking forever to create your bootable OS X drive?
