I am moving from Sierra to a new Mac with Monterey and this is my first contact with APFS. Currently, I am setting up an 18TB Western Digital HDD for TimeMachine and an 12TB WD HDD for clone backups (will be using either SupderDuper! or CarbonCopyCloner). Which file system should I choose...

I've read a fair bit about this and still don't know the answer, so I ask in plainest way--can a bootable backup be made from this 2019-20 iMac 27" running Monterey 12.3? I can use CCC or SuperDuper, or any alternative commercially available as long as it's simple to use. For years I used...

Hi, I have a few questions about Backups, Carbon Copy Cloner, and Time Machine. Any insight greatly appreciated! I’ve been using Time Machine to backup the two Mac laptops in my house, and Carbon Copy Cloner for (non-versioned) bootable clones, weekly and before OS updates. I’m now thinking of...

(MBP 2018 15” running Monterey) If anyone has any knowledge of CCC/backing up a failing hard drive please help I believe my external hard drive is beginning to fail, so I am attempting to back it up to a new one before it fails completely (i know, I should have done it sooner..) The original...

Hi all, I have been having issues with my external hard drive lately. I have a 2018 15” Macbook Pro running Monterey. My external HD has become extremely slow when loading, opening, transferring files, etc. but runs flawlessly when I use it at school on bigger iMacs. I have tried resetting the...

Dear community, currently, I am a Windows user. I will get the new 14“ MacBook Pro with 512 GB storage when it’s out. I am not storing videos/pictures, mainly office stuff. Now I am looking for an external backup system. In my imagination, I want to use an HDD/SSD which I stick in from times...

I apologize. I have looked a zillion places and read a zillion articles. If there is one that addresses this head-on, I've not found it; hence this query. • Backed-up entire internal drive, with Catalina OS installed, to external drive using CCC • Will install larger SSD in place of current...

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...

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...

Thanks to all readers of this post. To install Mojave in my MP 6.1 and keep HFS+, I cloned my High Sierra to an external drive and upgraded it to Mojave which made it APFS. I intended to erase the inner drive (always keeping HFS+) and clone back with CCC the Mojave. However I see no Mojave...

Hi. I'd like to image backup my startup disk (Mojave 10.14). To explain ... a real block copy image, not copying files, but (used) sector by sector. I checked Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) and I am testing sparse image and sparse bundle backups at this time. However I don't get how CCC can...

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...

Hello all, I hope that this is the correct section to post this thread. I am looking for a solution for the following situation. Mainly I am looking for a two way sync solution for my i Mac and an external SSD. Let's say I work on the file A on my Mac. Then I copy the file A to the external...

I'm looking into a onsite and offsite backup solution for a two-laptop household (with each a 256GB) plus 100-150GB of files on an external drive. Here are my current plans. Any suggestions to improve these will be greatly appreciated. 1. Each person has a iCloud account, syncing ~/Documents...

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...

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?

I'm looking for a imaging/cloning solution for my new tbMBP 2016. At the moment, I'm using TimeMachine for backup, though as my MBP is used for my work too, I also want cloning for the speedy restores in an emergency. As a former PC user, I've always used Paragon's backup/restore software...

I have an iMac 5k late 2015 with a 1TB SSD onboard. I have two OWC Thunderbay 4's (one is 16TB and where I store all data and one is 20TB and it's used as the target for backups, currently only using TM). I also have everything backed up through Crashplan in the cloud and every six months I...

Hello, this is my second thread about this topic once i decided to solve my problem using Carbon Copy Cloner. My Mac Pro (mid 2010) came with the Grey (Machine specific) Install DVD 10.6.4, i was updating it through the Software Update utility till reach 10.6.8. Currently this is the OS X...

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...
