I have updated to the latest CCC version but get a message saying the task is suspended and offering 2 options 1 to leave it suspended and the second to activate task. I opted for the second and have given CCC access in Security and Privacy.
On Bombich's website it says that:
When you select an APFS volume group (e.g. your macOS Big Sur startup disk) as the source to a task, and a destination that is not an already-established Big Sur volume, CCC will offer some choices for how to proceed with the task depending on how the selected destination is configured. We recommend that you dedicate a volume to the backup task, because the volume will have to be erased to establish a bootable backup.
Erase the destination
When you select this option, CCC will configure the task to use Apple's APFS replicator to clone the selected source to the selected destination. When you start the task, the destination will be immediately erased. SafetyNet is not applicable in this configuration, so be sure that you have selected an empty volume, or a volume that has data that may be deleted (e.g. an old backup).
I am not getting an option to erase the destination. The new SSD has ExFAT and the only option in Disk Utility is to erase it and replace it with MacOS Extended not with AFPS.
