[QUOTE="MacHeadCase, post: 411108"] Cloning means it will take the same space as the source hard drive. If your internal hard drive takes up 125GB, the cloned backup will take up 125GB. The clone is an exact copy. My backup is an exact copy of what I have on my Macintosh HD, same file structure, same files, users, etc. The only thing that differs is the files I manually have backed up there. The thing is that if you don't buy a licence, these manually copied files will be deleted, though. [/QUOTE]
