[QUOTE="RavingMac, post: 1319465, member: 45350"] I have used Time Machine for backup since I first got my Macs. Finally decided to give Carbon Copy Cloner a try because of the benefit of having a bootable copy of my HD just in case. My Mac Mini has a 320GB HD with ~50GB free space, started the cloning process 3 days ago (now in the 68th hour) and the cloning isn't finished yet. I expected it to take a while, but this seems excessive. The target drive is a 320GB Seagate External USB 2.0 portable drive. I'm not seeing any error messages or indications of problems. So, my question to those of you who have used CCC, is 72 hrs normal for cloning 270GB of System and Data files? [/QUOTE]
