Before you startīefore you get started, make sure you have an external hard drive with enough storage to fit everything on your Mac. The smartest solution is to use a portable hard drive.

Between macOS updates both CCC and SD will update the Data volume normally. The System volume cannot be updated, so when there is a macOS update you have to erase and start again. To use ASR you have to erase the whole destination first. The only way of cloning the System volume is with the Apple ASR (Apple System Restore) process which is used by both. The principle limitation is because a bootable clone obviously requires both the System and Data volume to be cloned. I have tested both this past week on M1 MBAs with Monterey. Details here:Īs you can see the two companies are taking very different approaches to the same task with basically the same tools. Superduper!

Note that bootable clones are no longer the default method for CCC and are not recommended because of the limitations mentioned.
