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 Carbon Copy Cloner, but all the new routines for making backups make my eyes roll--are these new routines only for newer M1 Macs?

My iMac is 2019-2020 version with 1 TB internal SSD.

Have no need to update to M1 iMac, though am curious to see what comes next and could change mind, but everything I read seems to say what major trouble has been occasioned by Apple changing to new chip and redesigning software/hardware.

I also run TM for what that's worth, and Backblaze.

Thanks for any help-

Pier
