[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1842841, member: 204485"] I think that answers your question but to clarify a clone will, upon opening, have the same structure as your internal drive. You navigate the contents with the finder window. You can have one finder window open for the clone and one for your internal drive and drag and drop between them or compare contents. On Carbon Copy Cloner when opened you will see Applications, Library, System and Users. Opening Users will list all users on the device, in my case just me. Opening my folder displays everything in my Home folder, Desktop, Documents, Music etc. You can boot your computer from the clone and apart from a speed variation dependent on your connection it will be identical to running your internal HD. I have both, TM because it makes great incremental backups easily accessible though the user interface and while CCC does this too via Safety Net it’s not as simple to access in my case but I only update my clone weekly. It could be permanently connected and backup hourly, it all depends on what you want. Sent from my iPhone using [url=http://r.tapatalk.com/byo?rid=95677]Mac-Forums[/url] [/QUOTE]
