I use CCC for my backups, I don't use time machine, mainly because I don't make a lot of changes to a lot of files at once. As far as restoring from a CCC backup, you would boot your mac from your backup drive, you can then use CCC to clone back to your internal drive, fortunately I have never

I do. It may be redundant but better safe than sorry. And, I put backups on separate external drives. The drives are partitioned but if the drive itself goes belly up, that will take all the data with it. From E.T.'s Keyboard. . . "God for you is where you sweep away all the mysteries of

Cloning the recovery partition makes it much easier if you want to do a clean install on another mac, just boot from the cloned recovery, erase the hard drive and you can do a clean install which I prefer to do for each major release of the operating system, it takes a bit more time but it's we

CCC 5 is fairly similar to version 4, it has more features than super duper and does work with APFS drives. CCC also has the ability to clone Apple's recovery partition which Super Duper does not do last I checked. Original message: I had been using CCC 4 for some time but switched to Super
