![]() CCC can also has a safety net so that files which are removed from the source get saved off to the side on the CCC backup, so you have a limited period of time (you get to choose how long) when you can get files back that were changed or removed. I have Carbon Copy Cloner running on an older Mac that uses the network to backup laptops in my home to a NAS (it is very Rube Goldberg but it works).Ĭarbon Copy Cloner is also good for just copying sets of folders and can include or exclude specific files in the copy. So I have SuperDuper updating a clone every day to a local attached hard disk. After the demo period you have to either buy or stop using CCC. Useful for try-before-you-buy, and for that once in a lifetime need to get a backup. ![]() Incremental updates to an existing clone and scheduled backups requires paying for SuperDuper.Ĭarbon Copy Cloner has a demo period where all features are available to play with. SuperDuper will do a full from scratch clone for free, so it is useful for that user that needs a one-off backup but does not want to pay for SuperDuper or any other backup software. ![]() SuperDuper just does clones, but it does it well. It's in the works.īut until then, what's the best solution to all this? I'm open to tackling the specific technical hurdles I brought up, or other methods to sidestep them.I own and use BOTH SuperDuper and Carbon Copy Cloner.īoth have saved me from failing boot disks.ĬCC has more flexibility, and the ability to perform network copies (very handy). You can install this app on Mac OS X 10.8 or later. The most popular versions of the tool are 4.0, 3.5 and 3.4. The unique identifier for this apps bundle is. TL DR I know that ultimately, the proper solution will be to enroll in Apple Business Manager and deploy MDM in our company. The 6.1.5 version of Carbon Copy Cloner for Mac is available as a free download on our software library. AppleSetupDone to make a 2nd admin account w/ Setup Assistant, etc… and by then the whole process is not worth the effort. ![]() It also works with macOS’ built-in restore feature to make recovering your data incredibly simple. So then we're off to SC2/DFU, internet recovery, rm. It clones entire drives in almost any format, including those created for Windows machines, and does so incredibly quickly on modern Macs (assuming you’re using a fast external storage drive). Tested it under M1 Mac options, it just will. Just use it with Migration Assistant in case something happens. Support for System volume cloning on Apple Silicon Macs is disabled for now because Apples APFS replication utility does not currently work on that platform. (Both the clone source and target have admin accounts, Secure Token is enabled for them, and they're the same account name and password. So no you cant use CCC 6.0.2 to make a HDD bootable with 12.0b2 on a M1 Mac. CCC can now make bootable backups of a Big Sur startup disk on Intel-based Macs. So when we go to RecoveryOS to update the Security Policy (our main SAN needs kexts to load), we get a "No administrator was found" error. Most crucially though, the clone (usually) breaks the administrator account.Then (sometimes) the Mac has to "phone home" for a few more minutes to reactivate. Carbon Copy Cloner is an advanced backup and file copying application for macOS. ![]() (Maybe 12.5 causes LLB to update system-paired firmware?)
