Do I need to re-clone the Recover HD after I upgraded to Mountain Lion
Hi, I just upgraded to Mountain Lion today and I am unsure if I need to re-clone the Recovery HD. I had cloned a Lion Recovery HD to my backup drive using CCC's Disk Center following the instructions in your documentation, so I already had a Recovery HD for Lion. After I ran my first backup with Mountain Lion installed, Disk Center is showing that there is a Recovery HD for Mountain Lion, which confused me. Did it just update the Recovery HD automatically, without me having to do it manually? Or am I confused and need to re-clone a Mountain Lion Recovery HD? I guess I am not exactly sure what I am looking at in Disk Center. I have searched the discussions but have not found anything specific to upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion and how that affects the existing (Lion) Recovery HD. Screen capture of Disk Center attached. DF_Backup_01 is the external drive I am backing up to. Thanks in advance for your assistance!

In that screenshot, your internal hard drive is selected. You updated that volume to ML using the installer, so that volume's Recovery HD was updated. The backup volume's Recovery HD won't automatically be updated. Click on the "DF_Backup_01" volume, then click the button to reclone the Recovery HD on that volume. If the "Recovery HD System version to be applied" popup menu indicates "Lion", choose Mountain Lion from that menu before clicking the button.
