Carbon copy cloner vs. superduper how to#
Time Machine can backup a Catalina startup volume group to a HFS+ drive, although you should only attempt to interact with such a backup within Catalina-in Mojave, Time Machine won’t know precisely how to deal with it. SuperDuper! update is in its final beta testing stage.) (Ĭarbon Copy Cloner is ready for Catalina Shirt Pocket’s
If you clone or copy your Catalina startup volume with a utility not yet ready for Catalina or while booted into Mojave, it’s likely you create two disconnected volumes instead of a unified Catalina whole. I agree with Patrick, CCC has been one of the most solid pieces of software I’ve every owned I use it for both regular bootable cloning of my drive and for creating hourly backups of a clients server so that when they accidentally delete a file or worse, a folder, I can go into the Safety copy and restore within minutes. I don’t yet have an explanation as to why this happens, although it may have to do with the significant updates required for disk cloning software to work correctly with volume groups, firmlinks, and Catalina. One reader even found that Time Machine refused to run after they had updated to Catalina because it found two copies of the “iMac – Data” volume, possibly because the reader had a backup mounted. I’ve heard from several readers and read in a number of forums that the Data volume sometimes appears on the Desktop as another accessible volume. This only gets confusing when things go awry.
Apple manages that trick by hiding the “- Data” volume, even though it’s mounted, and using firmlinks to make sure all the files in the Home directory and other read/write areas of macOS are mapped to the correct place. When you start up Catalina, you don’t see two volumes on the desktop-just one, and it’s named as you would expect, with the plain name of your volume as you set it.
