You wouldn't need to care about where you did the changes and won't have to deal with restrictions while cloning if you had modified the system, even SIP protected files and folders. That is heavily tested by myself and nothing else like normal cloning of a bootable drive that you'd do back and forth.
#Ssd carbon copy cloner vs superduper how to#
Some additional notes for explained how to keep whole drives, even bootable drives, in sync. If it's (b), is there anything (any workaround you can think of) we can do to achieve (a)?

Or is it (b) that CCC will simply re-create the exact same backup it made on day 1, from my MacBook to my portable HD, and I will thus lose any edits that occurred on my portable HD on day 2 while using it from another Mac? Will (a) those edits that occurred on day 2 on the destination drive (my portable HD) be reflected back to the source drive (my MacBook)? I make several modifications in it (add new files and/or edit/delete already existing ones).ĭay 3: I go back to my original MacBook (the one which hasn't been used since day 1) and plug my portable HD and use CCC.

Guys, I started using CCC today and I've a question I need to ask:ĭoes CCC ever affect the source drive, or does it only sync the destination drive?ĭay 1: I use CCC to make a backup of my MacBook on a portable HD and don't use my MacBook again until day 3 (no edits occur in it).ĭay 2: I boot this portable HD from another Mac and use it. > 1 TB HDD, 100 GB of files on it -> 1 TB on disk image To make an identical copy of a drive, one could use the Terminal command dd, the great ddrescue or another third party tool. Block Copy was dropped with the release of version 4. Writing a block level copy of a drive to a disk image is no longer possible with Carbon Copy Cloner. > 1 TB HDD, 100 GB of files on it -> around 80 GB on disk image with temporarily needed 180 GB while writing Well, none is keeping you from ignoring warnings. Carbon Copy Cloner gives you a warning before it will start writing to a drive with too less space. Especially if writing to the internal drive with the system on it, you can observe quite funny things happen while you are running out of space. Therefore you'll need to have almost twice the space temporarily available on the drive you're writing to.

Has around 20% to 30% less size, depending on what kind of files are on your source due to different compression ratio for different file types.īeware that a normal disk image is temporarily written with the full size of your files on disk, then another compressed disk image is made of it. Decompression while opening is almost as fast or slow as an uncompressed read only image. Compression while writing always takes some serious amount of time, but is non-destructive to your files. Has the size like 1.) and isn't meant to get modified, although you could convert that image to read/write.ģ.) The compressed disk image (read only) -> Good for archiving as the final disk image is getting a smaller size. > 1 TB HDD, 100 GB of files on it -> little less than 100 GB on disk imageĢ.) Disk image (read only) -> Good for making a fast clone to a disk image like a snapshot that you don't change afterwards. Has the size of the files on the source minus some stuff an average user doesn't need. Click to expand.You can make clones to different kinds of disk image files with Carbon Copy Cloner (presumably SuperDuper, too)ġ.) The growing disk image (read/write)-> Good for incremental backups as the disk image size has the ability to grow in size.
