[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1552812, member: 46727"] I don't use CCC to clone back to my Macs unless I have to. There are times when an OS update goes bad, something was accidentally removed, or like my little incident last Friday when my drive went south; that's when it's a life saver. As far as using CCC for making backups, I do so every other day along with a Time Machine backup. CCC backups, if done right, are bootable whereas Time Machine backups are not. Mac OS X is pretty good about keeping things neat and is resistant to fragmentation as long as you leave plenty of open space on your hard drive. I have a copy of [URL="http://www.coriolis-systems.com/iDefrag.php"]iDefrag[/URL] which I haven't used in some time. I did use it when I owned a MacBook with a smaller hard drive. [/QUOTE]
