[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1865577, member: 83420"] Hi Pete. No dumb questions here. The odd dumb answer - I've contributed a few myself :) Taking your questions in turn. To use CCC, your Source is your Macintosh HD and the Target/Destination is the External Hard Drive (EHD) to which you will hold the clone. Next: Both APFS and HFS (aka Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) are valid destination formats when using Carbon Copy Cloner 5 on High Sierra and Mojave. This Quote is taken from the CCC site which makes for truly excellent reading. See here: [URL unfurl="true"]https://bombich.com/kb/ccc5/everything-you-need-know-about-carbon-copy-cloner-and-apfs[/URL] If you make a CCC backup of your current macOS High Sierra and subsequently Upgrade to macOS Mojave, future CCC backups should be on a fresh EHD. That way, you always have a means of going back to macOS High Sierra. You may already have this, but a Time Machine backup is also very handy, but requires a separate EHD and that MUST be formatted HFS, aka Mac OS X Extended (Journaled). Hope that helps a bit.
