I looked where CCC was storing the snapshots on both my internal drive and on the destination external drive. Turns out they both point to /private/tmp and then folder inside that location. So, basically, the so called backup is stored on the drive being backed up. Which means when the drive fails, you lose all the snapshots. I'm turning it off in CCC. I think Bombich has made a fundamental error in making snapshot the default, particularly where it's being put.EDIT: I just turned off Snapshot on both source and target drives in CCC, then deleted the snapshots from CCC on both. I recovered 200 GB on the internal drive, 400GB on the external target drive. I wondered where my drive space went!</blockquote>
