We recommend that you use Migration Assistant to migrate user accounts and data from one Mac to another. CCC can copy data from one Mac to another, but any time you're copying user accounts and home folders, it's generally a better practice to use Migration Assistant for that purpose.
CCC no está diseñado para funcionar con Windows. CCC puede hacer copiar datos de una partición de Boot Camp, pero no se debe usar para hacer copias de los archivos de sistema de Windows. Si lo que quiere es guardar una copia de seguridad de los datos de usuario de la partición de Boot Camp, CCC le servirá.
Time Capsule y otros dispositivos de almacenamiento en red son muy populares para disponer de almacenamiento en una «nube personal». Como es natural, este tipo de almacenamiento es muy interesante para guardar copias de seguridad. La idea de guardar una copia de seguridad de todas sus cosas sin tener que conectar un solo cable resulta muy atractiva. «Comodidad» y «rapidez» suelen ir de la mano, pero no siempre es así cuando se trata de realizar una copia de seguridad en un volumen de red.
CCC can be used to help with the transition to a new hard drive. We have found that formatting the new drive after installation can be more reliable than formatting in an external enclosure or using a drive adapter, these devices can cause the drive to only boot when in the enclosure or with the adapter.
After installing the new drive, boot from your CCC backup or the old internal in an enclosure or using an adapter, then format the drive as we describe here: Preparing your backup disk in macOS.
We often see backup tasks configured with the whole startup disk selected as the source, and then everything excluded from the backup except for a single folder. This kind of configuration is suboptimal for several reasons:
CCC will not back up the contents of Finder's Trash by default, but CCC offers an option to back up the Finder's Trash in the Task Filter window. Click the Task Filter button at the bottom of CCC's window to reveal the task filter.
No. Copying a Time Machine backup volume with anything other than the Finder is not supported (by us, nor Apple); CCC specifically disallows copying anything to or from a Time Machine backup volume. Apple does not document a procedure for making copies of Time Machine volumes.
CCC always examines the files on the destination to determine if they already match those on the source. If you have a volume that is virtually identical to your source, CCC will copy only the items that are different between the two volumes.
