[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1787062, member: 396914"] Rod, the issue brought out was that APFS has issues with disk images, and that CCC struggles with those same disk images. Nothing about backups, just disk images. Here is the blog post he posted: [URL unfurl="true"]https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16402754[/URL] The only time this can be an impact is if APFS volumes are cloned to network drives, because that is when backups like TM use the sparse image format to cut down on network traffic. The latest version of CCC, 5.0.9 will no longer make APFS formatted disk images at all. And the bug in macOS only impacts when the disk starts to get full. It's a failure to keep the free space updated, apparently. [/QUOTE]
