![]() ![]() Sadly perhaps those days are just about gone as far as a backup strategy goes. We installed it ourselves and using Disk Utility on the EHD formatted and mapped the new drive then using the clone as source and the new Macintosh HD as target copied the clone to the new internal HD. ![]() We restarted with the option key held and booted from her CCC clone on a USB (HDD) EHD and although a little slow she was able to continue using her computer for the two weeks it took to get a new internal HD, an SSD this time. Just a question mark on the startup screen on boot. a NAS volume, or any volume with ownership disabled), ownership of files copied to the destination (when applicable) is set to the user account that configured the CCC task.

Praise for Carbon Copy Cloner We want you to know that we could not, could NOT, in any way, do our work with the confidence, security, efficiency, and ease if we did not have your Carbon Copy Cloner as our most vital application. I don't fully trust TM and two backups are better than one. Which raises the old question, which is better? CCC (Super Duper if you prefer) or Time Machine (TM).

The team behind SuperDuper don’t know the details but say “I’m certain it required changes to the M1’s startup process and to asr to finally make it happen.”Īs indicated above, you can’t boot an Intel Mac from an M1 backup or vice-versa. It would copy the System volume but displayed errors like the “source volume format is not yet supported.”Īpple is fixing this in macOS 11.4. But asr doesn’t work properly with M1 Macs. This is due to a change that Apple is bringing to the Mac.įor security reasons, Big Sur forced the use of Apple Software Restore, or asr, for backups that contain a System volume (that is, any startup volume). However, you won’t be able to boot from a SuperDuper backup unless you’re running the macOS 11.4 beta or later.
