[QUOTE="krs, post: 1851648, member: 67742"] Just a note: You only need to use Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper or some other utility like that if you want to make a [B]bootable backup[/B] of your active drive which [B]includes your macOS[/B]. If you are just storing data (like images) which is what it sounds like from your first post, you can just copy them - ie drag and drop. If there are a lot, like in the thousands, it sometimes works better if you do them in lots rather than all at once. Not sure why, but I have had problems copying too many to an external drive at the same time - copying just stopped. The "workaound" was copying something like 500 images at a time. [/QUOTE]
