[QUOTE="krs, post: 1831105, member: 67742"] I can't either, but I'm sure there are valid reasons for doing that. The one benefit of a file-by-file clone vs the block-by-block is that most of the fragmentation on the source drive is eliminated. The macOS is pretty good in keeping fragmentation in check, but it's not perfect. Last time I compared disk fragmentation on the source to the clone, the fragmentation on the clone was much less - that's with a file-by-file clone. With a block-by-block clone fragmentation would stay the same. [/QUOTE]
