[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1835478, member: 83420"] I don't [I]think[/I] you can do this because I [I]think[/I] Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) sees the two Volumes as one Group. I would also advice that you BU everything anyway, irrespective of your Time Machine backups - why not? In any case, you will need an specific External Hard Drive (EHD) for CCC and it has to be formatted APFS (unlike TM which must, for the moment, be formatted HFS+ irrespective of the source's filing system). Here are some links from the Bombich site which explain CCC and Catalina as well as some background info. [url=https://bombich.com/blog/2019/10/07/cloning-catalina-carbon-copy-cloner]Cloning Catalina with Carbon Copy Cloner | Carbon Copy Cloner | Bombich Software[/url] [url=https://bombich.com/kb/ccc5/working-apfs-volume-groups]Working with APFS Volume Groups | Carbon Copy Cloner | Bombich Software[/url] -- from this link, have a look at the paragraph beginning "CCC will automatically convert your HFS+ formatted destination to APFS to support backing up a Catalina+ volume". You could also drop a line to Mike Bombich who is always happy to respond. Ian [/QUOTE]
