I have run some cloning tests on various versions of HBS.
I can confirm that recent versions don't allow cloning a disk to an external USB disk.
Even booting to the WinPE USB rescue environment doesn't allow it on recent versions.
I had to go back to a WinPE created with 4.5.1 before I could clone a disk to an external USB disk.
4.9.5 and none of the V5 WinPE rescue disks seem to allow cloning to external USB disk.
Hope this helps. Not sure why this feature has been removed, unless it's going to become a Paid feature only.
