Use automation TM is nice because it seamlessly backs up several drives, rather than having to set up multiple clone jobs per drive I know CCC does that with safety net, but TM interface is slicker to recover. I like having a TM backup too precisely because it has the ability to recover historic versions of files/deleted, I know you said you don’t want that but I’ve found it handy on occasion. You just boot up from the external drive and carry on (especially if SSD speed). CCC backup, as long as set up right, has the advantage of being bootable to get you still working in the event that the HDD/SSD in your computer idea but the machine otherwise works. What, if any, practical difference is there between them if my computer dies and I need to use the backup to set up a new computer? Is either of them the "better" choice?Ĭlick to expand.I use both, in a similar setup. I'm trying to decide if there is any point, apart from redundancy, to maintain both backups. I have CCC Safety Net off because I don't need it. I am also using Carbon Copy Cloner to make a bootable clone of the drive to an APFS volume on an external SSD, again once a day. I do these manually once a day because, as stated, I don't need historical data. If my computer dies, I'll just get a new one at one of the several Apple stores in my immediate area.Ĭurrently, I use Time Machine to make a backup of my internal drive to a relatively small partition on a hard disk drive. The main applications that I use already make backups of work in progress, also to external drives, over the course of a project. I only need current backups, not the ability to recover data from last week let alone last month.Almost all of my data, both original files and backups, is on external drives I mostly need to back up my applications and settings. I use my 2018 Mac mini as a workspace.I have a question about the practical difference between these applications in the following circumstances:
