Bombich has basically thrown in the towel on bootable backups.

#CARBON COPY CLONER 4.0 VS SUPERDUPER UPDATE#

The only decision left is whether or not to make CCC create bootable backups and lose all historic data when I update the operating system in them!!.

#CARBON COPY CLONER 4.0 VS SUPERDUPER FREE#

I am running a paid for version of CCC and, at the moment, a free version of SD and cannot see any benefit in buying a copy of SD, which effectively does the same.Both programs appear to suggest that is not necessary to actually create bootable backups as their use is limited.

The only difference that I can find between the two programs is that CCC does not recommend bootable backups whereas SD appears to encourage it by its marketing.

To update the operating system with both programs the backup disk is erased before the update takes place, so all previously backed up Data is lost.

Both CCC and SD can then update the Data on a regular basis but neither program will update the operating system contained within that backup.

Both CCC and SD backups can be made bootable and do actually boot.

On clones and their value, Randy said it best:įollowing some research and testing I have come to the following conclusions.

Depending on which is the source, you may have other things to do to clean up the installation.īut there is no longer any need to download the source, it is there in the fabric. Once booted, the restoration from TM or migration from a cloned backup puts your stuff back where you want it. If you want to know more, start here: Booting an M1 Mac from hardware to kexts: 1 Hardware and read all three parts of the boot sequence. (That's a simple version, what happens is actually pretty complex. The system does checksum type error checking and then compares the checksums against what Apple thinks they should be, and if all is good, the system is booted from the snapshot. On a reinstallation of the system, those files are copied from that secure enclave to create a snapshot of a bootable system. There is a section of the storage fabric in which the entire system files, as updated by Apple, are stored. If the problem is corruption in the software, the entire system can be restored from the secure enclave that Apple has created in the system. Or have I got the whole thing completely wrong?Ĭlick to expand.No, it does not need to be downloaded. My thoughts are that if I create a new SuperDuper clone each time the os is updated, and keep CCC doing scheduled backups, and I need to restore everything, could I use the SuperDuper backup to restore the System and Data files that were current at the time of the last os update and use CCC to restore the current up to date Data files. If I understand cloning correctly, with Monterey the system files may well be backed up to an ext DD but whenever that backup is updated only the Data files will actually be updated and not the system files. I have created a Backup using SuperDuper and it does appear in the Startup Disk in Preferences. I have never tried SuperDuper but notice that Shirt Pocket appear to suggest that the latest version of it will now create a bootable backup with Monterey.

Out of interest I checked the Startup Disk in Preferences and the CCC Backup is not shown. In the event of a failure it appears that the os has to be downloaded from Apple and then the Data added from CCC. I have been using CCC for many years but my understanding of it at the moment is that it cannot effectively make bootable backups with Monterey due to the 'sealed' OS system files and all it does now is backup the Data.

I know that there have been many discussions about the suitability of cloning software programs with Monterey on M1 Macs and, if possible, I would like a bit more basic advice.
