[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1828107, member: 46727"] Unless Bombich has changed the behavior of CCC snapshots, they are not removed as new ones are made. They simply build up using drive space. Which is why I have them turned off for CCC. As for Time Machine, it no longer matters whether the backup drive is attached or not, a snapshot is made and stored as each backup is completed. However, Time Machine unlike CCC does remove older snapshots. As far as I know, Time Machine started doing this with the implementation of APFS and High Sierra. Are snapshots something you need? I don't find them useful but that's something you need to decide. [/QUOTE]
