![]() Previously, I had booted into Recovery Mode and run First Aid with Disk Utility. I notified Micromat about this and will report back with their response. I had to do a forced shutdown because everything was unresponsive. The test froze at 6:21 at Snapshot 16 of 32. SMART worked fine but there was a problem with live verification testing Volume Structures. ![]() I tried two things on my internal hard drive with Big Sur 11.1 and TTP 13.0.2. Then after some testing, will make the move to CCC, and then completely to Big Sur, V11.2, on both of my Macs. Now just need to wait until OS 11.2 comes out, which should be very soon: If not, I'll just pay for CCC at that time.TechToolPro 13.2 has been released, so feel free to take the plunge into Big Sur.Īctually, it is V13.0.2, but yes, getting closer. If SD comes out with a newer version during that time, I'll upgrade. Assuming SuperDuper! still has no newer version available, I'll download the free trial version of CCC and use it for 30 days. When OS 11.2 and a compatible version of Tech Tool Pro are released, and after doing some testing with both, I plan on making the move to Big Sur. Unfortunately, I did not get any indication at all from Dave as to when an updated version of SuperDuper! would be available. That suits my needs just fine, as 1) I have never had the need for incremental backups, and 2) I do such backups once a week for both of my Mcs.Īctually, the free version of Super Duper!, which offers only Full Volume Clone would be MartyByrde's best option (if it worked in Big Sur).Īgree 100%. Also, my use of CCC will be the same as it has always been for SuperDuper!: a complete erasure and formatting of the destination APFS-formatted volume, then a copy/clone of my system (everything on it) to that volume. So, I would appreciate it if anyone can tell me if they are using the latest version of Carbon Copy Cloner, V5.1.23, with Big Sur and Intel-based Macs. I just had an EMail conversation with Dave Nanian of Shirt Pocket Software about the status of SuperDuper! and Big Sur, and I did not get anything definitive from him. ![]() I will then be left with an upgrade for SuperDuper!. Works well enough for me until Shirt Pocket makes a Leopard-compatible version of SuperDuper! available.I am anticipating making the move from Catalina to Big Sur very soon, as 1) V11.2 of Big Sur will be released very shortly, 2) I've been testing V11.1 of Big Sur on an external SSD, and except for SuperDuper! and Tech Tool Pro, and a couple of very minor glitches, it works fine, and 3) it appears that Micromat is getting real close to releasing an Intel-based version of Tech Tool Pro that is compatible with Big Sur (just like Carbon Copy Cloner). As far as I can tell, there is no difference between using this option and ticking the "erase target disk" option in CCC, except that you already have Disk Utility and have already entrusted the integrity of your data to Apple by installing Leopard. You will lose the ability to "smart update" your backup, but you can just set it to go before you go off to run an errand or go to sleep. ![]() Not to denigrate that developer's efforts, but if you are going to tick the option to erase the target disk before copying, why wouldn't you just use the rock-solid utility provided by your operating system? It's been mentioned in other threads on these forums but I don't think anyone's brought it up in this one: Disk Utility works perfectly well for creating a bootable clone of your startup disk. ![]() People are reporting problems with CCC's smart-update thing and the integrity of their clones after a few backups. ![]()
