#Carbon copy cloner apfs for mac os

Bombich first thought of the backup application concept while providing tech support at Bowling Green State University because there was not yet any cloning utility for Mac OS X. Carbon Copy Cloner can make complete bootable clones or incremental backups of HFS Plus or APFS volumes. It's a smaller company, but it's never let me down yet. Nevertheless, even if you decide to create a clone, we highly recommend you also create a Time Machine backup, especially if the clone is the only copy of your data you will have. Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) is drive backup and cloning utility written by Mike Bombich for macOS. Fit the new drive to computer (see warning. Still using Super Duper which works fine. Agree to the trial, if necessary follow the instructions to give CCC full disk access. I have the latest CCC, but never used it yet. It can backup the entire system or it can be used for selected files and folders. (By the way, I told them CCC should have the option to delete files/folders across snapshots, even Timemachine can do that.) With Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC), it will clone what you want and when you want. So, I've set the CCC task now to not keep anything older than 10 days, and the 50gb will be released in 10 days.ĬCC is a great backup software, and Bombich provide good service, I just thought I'd let you know. My daily CCC backup of course copied that and my backup disk lost 50gb of free space.Ĭontacted Bombich, they said only way to retrieve that space was to wait for CCC settings to "thin" out the original folder automatically, or for the disk to reach full space limit, and then thin. So, be aware changing backup disk media, you lose snapshots and roll-back ability.Ģ: Without thinking, I moved a 50gb folder to another directory on the same disk. I contacted Bombich, and they said, yes, snapshots are a part of APFS file system and can't be copied. Copy with Disk Utilities or CCC, same result.

Size like a fresh clone, without snapshots. When Apple works out the problems in its APFS replication utility in an future update to macOS Big Sur, CCC will leverage that directly to copy the System. Then I noticed that the CCC clone of disk(s) was smaller than I expected. I figured I'd just copy or clone the old one and continue backups where I'd left off. There is nothing that is describing or named as such.

That is how the legacy bootable copy works when doing a APFS replication. I recently bought a bigger drive for my backups. The 4 step process is System volume is copied, then the Preboot, then Recovery, then the Data volume.
