I have a reservation about Carbon Copy Cloner. Maybe there's some subtle issue in the drive, but at any rate my confidence in Carbon Copy Cloner is much higher. It takes too long to display files in a past snapshot. I agree that Time Machine feels as if it is undergoing subtle bit rot.
Time Machine is not great for quick recovery if a disk dies.
Time Machine also works rapidly and continuously and does not appear to be slowing down the machine, unlike every other "continuous backup" product I've ever used. Time Machine is wonderful for recovering older versions of things that got deleted, or modified incorrectly, or anything like that. The idea that there's just one thing that solves all problems is a fallacy, I think. They are each useful in very different ways.
#CCC VS SUPERDUPER UPGRADE#
What I've found so far seems expensive/complicated (potentially), such as Synology.įWIW, we just got 1GB fiber ISP on our street and at some point I will need to upgrade my mesh to either Eero6 or beyond. All my machines could back up onto this (and possibly replace some of the things I use iCloud for?). What I would love is some kind of network storage that would work so I can hide all of the stuff out of sight (all attached to an Eero somewhere). I have an Eero home mesh system (first generation) with a pair of ethernet ports, but it doesn't support my USB-C external drives plugged in for any kind of network drive access. What drives me nuts is external drives dangling out of machines. I also have all my non photo/video data on One Drive. I also back up this data every few months to an external HDD and send that to my MIL to keep in her safe. I keep all my photos and videos on an external 4TB RAID 1+0 array and use CCC to back that up to another 4TB HDD in the RAID box. I use CCC to make a bootable backup of my internal HDD on an external SSD. I have an airport extreme that has all my time machine backups on it (desktop and 2 laptops). If I had to pick one, it would be Time Machine. OTOH, CCC seems more transparent and customizable. I have the latest operating systems on all machines.
To be fair I typically keep older machines (my newest is a 2018 MacMini and oldest a 2010 27" iMac.which will be replaced with a MacBook Air sometime this year). They few times I have tried to use it my machines start screaming and the process is very tedious. Why do you think Time Machine is a fading product for Apple? My only other backup is iCloud (which I know isn't technically a backup) It seems like TM is a fading product for Apple.Ģ) Also, do you recommend leaving it plugged into the device all of the time or only plugging it in once a month or some other interval? I've used the later, out of concern for power surges, however, I have a pretty decent surge protector that everything is plugged into so that might be overkill. I have never had to actually use TM either however when I tried earlier wasn't really in love with how it was implemented. I like that CCC can create a bootable disk but to be honest have never had to use it over 8 years. I have used both Time Machine and also have a paid copy of Carbon Copy Cloner.
#CCC VS SUPERDUPER MAC#
I am getting ready to add another Mac to the family and have only one extra external drive not being used (1GB).
