[QUOTE="krs, post: 1862857, member: 67742"] If you think you lost a lot of stuff, I wonder if that is because Catalina does not support 32-bit applications and if you have any data that requires a 32-bit application to run, you won't be able to open these files. Please don't take this wrong, but I think you need to slow down a bit and maybe consult members here about what you want to do and wait for some feedback before you do it since it seems to me that you are not all that familiar with the changes Apple has made to macOS and the resulting implications. I, for instance, decided to stop at Mojave with my current upgrades for the time being. There is nothing for me that would require an upgrade to Catalina even though my Mac is supported, Mojave still runs 32-bit applications of which I have a few and Mojave also uses APFS which is optimized for the SSD I'm replacing my spinner drive with. I realize that the time difference with Australia slows down communications, it's 11:00am Eastern here in North America and 1:00am in the morning where you are, but I think in the end taking things slow and verified by members in this group will be beneficial. As far as the "lost stuff" is concerned, if there are very specific items that you think are lost on Catalina, then boot into your Sierra CCC clone on the external and check if those items are there. And like Jake said, change your back up strategy so there are not two backups on the same physical drive. [/QUOTE]
Verification
Name this item. 🍎
