Apple does NOT support APFS on Fusion drives. Assuming your 4 TB backup drive is HDD, and not SDD, I would not recommend APFS anyway, as it is designed for SSDs, and can cause fragmentation issues if used with HDD (Although Apple does support APFS for HDDs). It only affects the way it is stored and written to an SSD. but it worksĪs long as your backup drive is HFS+, you'll be fine. Outside the scope of backups, I've booted from USB drives many times just to re-install the OS. Oh and yeah, never heard of a non bootable USB drive unless you either don't know how or fail to create the boot partition prior to attempting to boot from it. I just haven't tried that feature out yet but I'll bet its just as reliable as the program prior to adding the feature. Mike Bombich (the developer of the product) informed me that it can now replace Time Machine backups which is great news. Incidentally, Carbon Copy Cloner now has snapshot backups since version 5.1. My disaster recovery strategy is to restore my entire system (OS, apps and everything) from the last monthly CCC backup by booting from the CCC bootable drive then use the time machine backups stored on the same drive to restore everything to the most current point in time. I have it scheduled to backup all of my Multimedia projects 2x weekly and have Time Machine to perform its regular point in time backups several times a day.
#PERFORM TIME MACHINE BACKUP APOLLO CLOUD FULL#
I use CCC to perform a full system bootable backup of everything once at the beginning of each month to a 5TB USB drive and a G-RAID HD. Has saved critical loss of work many times. At the time I initially purchased CCC it didn't support point in time backups so I also used Time Machine to capture the point-in-time backups and it run regularly. I have regularly scheduled backups every week and once each month and really like the auto-email notifications to inform if the backups were successful or not. Tried many other solutions but no other product has compared to Carbon Copy. Nothing more painful and eye-opening than to see hours and days of work gone in split second. But in short, for me its made backups a regular routine not an optional task of choice. Click to expand.Same strategy here Don and I also have a few horror stories.
