I heartily recommend that the clone drive have at least twice the storage capacity of the drive being cloned. And they're in dated folders, so if one deletes a file (accidentally or otherwise) and then wants it back, all one need do is simply mount that volume (booting from it is unnecessary for this purpose) and then locating the file and dragging it back to your "home" drive or wherever you want. ![]() The "Safety Net" is a dedicated folder at the primary level of the clone which contains files which have been changed or even deleted since the previous cloning session. This is the best choice, especially if one is backing up to a drive which is much larger than the one being cloned. With CCC, I noticed Reesche had his "Safety Net" on. ![]() I keep "partial clones" of my system as well, and they're not bootable for security reasons and I keep offsite since I'm not going to ever discount the possibility of a fire wrecking everything. ![]() I'm blessed (or cursed, depending on one's perspective) with a whole box of 3.5" and 2.5" HDDs, some of which are in their own enclosures, but most I just plug into a dock I keep on my desk and can hot-swap to my heart's desire. But is it really paranoid if something bad has happened before, like losing a drive suddenly and catastrophically? There are some who might think I'm paranoid because I keep multiple clones of my Macs at all times.
