[QUOTE="Heinz Mandala, post: 1917005, member: 414382"] Hi, I always was using Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) for a complete 1:1, bootable harddrive backup. Sadly this is not possible anymore. Instead CCC now seems to backup the user partition or so... So even changes under "/" or "/Library/..." will be backuped... I have these questions: - Will a timemachine backup also copy the whole user partition? - Is there a way to do a complete 1:1 bootable backup? - Can I boot from a USB drive copy? - Should I format the backup drive with APFS or HFS+? APFS seems to be problematic, because there does not exist a recovery software for it. - Can I read a written backup drive with another Mac? I am quite experienced, also setup my hackintosh and I know OpenCore and Clover... Are there any such modifications to enable usb boot or 1:1 copies? Thanks a lot for help! [/QUOTE]
