Hi again. I might just wait a little longer for the SuperDuper upgrade. If not forthcoming soon I may move to CCC.
The reason I use Time Machine and also SuperDuper:- I feel that if my home is burgled and they take the Mac, the Time Machine drive will most likely go too. So on the 1st of each month I take my SSD from my safe and do a SuperDuper backup. I also store important files on Dropbox, but not photos and videos because of their size. One can never back up too much !!!! > On 7 Dec 2020, at 8:15 am, Robin Belford <rbelf...@highway1.com.au> wrote: > > Dear All, > My experience is > - following a CCC update last week I now have a bootable Big Sur clone of my > computer (as well as the two Time Machine backups).
