[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1823241, member: 175845"] I suggested that step previously for several reasons, some may not be needed: - create a new directory of all data and the OS that often ends up being much faster that the original drive was. - you can use the cloned drive as a backup obviously. A single backup is the minimum. - CCC will often flag either file or directory errors or errors with either drive being used. ie: either one could be failing or failed for that matter so it can act as a warning flag. It sounds like things are progressing well but we have various family members coming for lunch tp celebrate some of my children's recent birthdays and our Fathers Day celebration all in one. So computer time will have to be cancelled. BTW: [I][B]HAPPY FATHERS DAY to ALL fathers!!![/B][/I] EDIT: BTW: Using an external SSD ONLY for backups is overkill and a waste of resources IMHO, but I don't think that was anyone's intention unless I misread some comments. - Patrick ====== [/QUOTE]
