[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1156965, member: 46727"] Take note that with both CCC and SuperDuper the internal drive must first be erased before you can "clone" back. And even at that, I'm not convinced that the defragmentation will be gone since both programs use block level copying. And, my own experience with using CCC (I have not tried SuperDuper) is that it is not effective. The only way that seems to work well is as I mentioned above (restoring with Time Machine after the drive has been erased). There are programs (mentioned in the article) which will do defragmentation without having to erase the drive first. I usually recommend iDefrag because it is the least expensive and others who post in these forums have given it a good review. [/QUOTE]
