Select your Macs hard drive from the drop-down menu next to 'Copy.' Select the external hard drive from the drop-down menu next to 'to.' Make sure Backup - all files is selected in the drop-down menu next to using (Backup - user files does not create a bootable clone). It is also wise to check your backup and be sure it functions as intended.Ĭarbon Copy Cloner is really great software for the Mac if you need to image a hard drive, whether for a backup, or to clone a hard drive to another drive, or for upgrading a drive to a new one and having it be the exact same as it was, or many other purposes. Of course Carbon Copy Cloner has it’s limitations, and you should spend some time with the included documentation to ensure that you are running things properly. CCC will not backup directly to CDs or DVD-R discs, though you can backup to an appropriately sized disk image, then burn the image to disc with Toast or Disk Copy.Cloning to a disk image will (obviously), not yield a bootable volume unless you use CCC to restore the image to a physical partition or disk. Local (i.e., not over a network connection), HFS+ formatted partition or hard drive.The following configurations are supported by Carbon Copy Cloner: Just another reason to love your Mac and the development community. With an easy interface and simple backups, and it’s donation ware (or a free trial, depending on the version), that means you don’t pay unless you like it.
Carbon Copy Cloner creates a bootable clone of your hard drive, perfect for full system backups of a Mac.
Say hello to your newest friend, Carbon Copy Cloner.
