[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1842942, member: 204485"] Great to hear your views and observations on MBG. I can't imagine anyone who has already invested time and money into CCC, or SD for that matter, wanting to change to this app. Occasionally I like to nose around a bit to see if someone has produced a better product than the one I"m already using. I also like to revisit the ones I am using in the light of improvements or options I did not originally appreciate/understand eg. [FONT="]SuperDuper has two post-run options that Carbon Copy Cloner lacks: It can create a disk image of the [/FONT][I]destination[/I][FONT="] volume (useful in an institutional setting where you may need to copy an image to multiple Macs), and it can install a package-based app on the destination. [/FONT]Then there is "Sandboxing" an option I now understand but don't really need. I was also unaware that thanks to CCC's Recovery HD Support it allows the user to encrypt clone backups using FileVault, something we have been asked about in the past. Currently CCC and SD seem to still be the top of the list for ease of use, support and reliability. MBG is a cheaper, smaller, perhaps slightly simpler cloning and file recovery app which, as I have proven, does support macOS Catalina and is bootable. MBG, like CCC and SD offers a free fully functional 30 day trial is easily uninstalled, (instructions on the home page). [/QUOTE]
