carbon copy cloner

Hello to all, I am writing to you for information. Currently on my MacBook Pro 13 ”Mid 2012 I have Big Sur Beta 9 installed. I must say that for being an unsupported MacBook Pro it works quite well and I am very happy because I can develop on IOS without problems. But I would like to update to...

CCC produced a message suggesting they no longer provide bootable clones as of 10.15.6 ... which I know just came out. Is it REALLY over..? I found a video which alleged that: Sync Folder Pro+ ... which it appears uses Rsync as the 'engine' but has an advanced wrapper which manages the...

1 out of 2 times the mac pro is starting up from a CCC backup. That backup is not selected as the startup disc. The startup disc selected is "Mac Pro". The backup disc "MacProBU2" is not selected as the startup disc. I have checked CCC literature but find nothing about this. My workaround is...

Bombich has a workaround in a beta, but this is BAD. https://www.macrumors.com/2020/05/28/apfs-bug-catalina-10-15-1-bootable-backups/

Hello all! Hope you are all doing well. Firstly, I’m fairly clued up on Macs and the differences between Time Machine and Carbon Copy Cloner 5. My question is about backup and security. I’d like to backup my Mac and an external drive I’m using. I have a 2 TB LaCie drive and a 1 TB WD drive. If...

CCC vs TimeMachine vs Manual Backup? I'm looking for best practices and backup strategies to backup my photos library, music library, and documents folder. Does CCC do incremental backups? Meaning that it will start with a base and incrementally backup only changes similar to Time Machine...

Hi there! I have a 13" 2017 macbook pro, running High Sierra. I'm trying to boot a cloned Snow Leopard OS (Carbon Copy Cloner backup) from an external drive, but keep getting the 'Prohibited' / 'No Access' icon (see attached image) after I choose the drive in Startup Manager. I've tried this...

I have an iMac 27 inch 5k 2018. This has a 1 TB fusion drive with a 24 GB of flash storage in it. This computer is used in a music studio and the hard drive performs terribly. It is excruciatingly slow. I was wondering if any one could help me with the following questions: Based on my...

Hi everyone. I have an older Mac (early 2013 MBP), and I'd like to upgrade to Mojave from Sierra. My concern is, I've been working on an album of songs for nearly 2 years in Logic, and it would be pure hell if anything messed up those session files, with all their 3rd-party plug-ins, sample...

HI I use Carbon Copy Cloner when I had to back from HS to S (because UI lag) BUT when I cloned again the SSD with the exactly same copy, I found out that all "modified dates" in finder had the same date, so this was very annoying and frustrating, as my default folders order is organized by...

Found out today I will need to ship my MacBook Pro (Late 2013) back to Apple to repair a bulging battery. I have a friend who loaned me an extra MacBook Air (Early 2015) that he allowed me to wipe clean and install OS X Sierra (same as my MacBook Pro). I have Time Machine backups of my machine...

Howdy! I just purchased a used iMac on eBay and I'm planning to clone my current hard drive (MBP) using CCCloner and then transfer it to the new (used) iMac. When I first turned the iMac on it walked me through the steps for setting up a brand new mac, so as far as I can tell, it came with a...

I am running a MacBook Air that has been upgraded with a 1 TB SSD. It runs great. I have Parallels on the system running Windows 7 for several of my small business needs - Quicken, FileMaker Pro, TurboTax and Microsoft Office. The original drive is now in an enclosure that I want to use as a...

Hey everyone, In order to hide my sensitive documents I've created an encrypted .dmg with Disk Utility and I've put them all in. Those documents exist nowhere else on my hard drive. When I use Time Machine to backup my HD, does TM automatically detect changes within that encrypted .dmg and...

I need help. Every reasonable person says that before upgrading to High Sierra a bootable clone drive of the previous OS should be made.:rolleyes: However presently, for reasons I don't understand, all my previous clones and any new one are not seen to boot from them with the option key.:eek: I...

When CCC clones a Filevault2 encrypted drive is the clone also encrypted? And would it be encrypted if copied (cloned) back to a different computer?

Hello! I'm trying to upgrade the hard drive in my Macbook Pro from 500GB to 1TB. I have the 1TB in a Firewire enclosure and I want to clone everything over before installing it (so that I know that it works before I start messing with stuff). I got a copy of Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) and went to...

I run a computer lab for a high school. We have about 150 computers in need of a new clone. I recently upgraded to El Capitan and I have found endless literature on how to clone using previous platforms. But none for this new system. I have been working on this for over a month, I have...

Hi! On my iMac with OSX 10.10.5 I've 1 Raid 5 drive (ThunderBay, using SoftRAID) via Thunderbolt and 2 USB drives. I do use CCC to clone my Raid 5 to both USB's. When I drag a folder from my ThunderBay to Finders sidebar and I click it, it points correctly to the folder on the ThunderBay...
