Thanks.


Best,

If I clone to a drive with data on it already, I either partition the drive so that CCC is using a blank partition or I get CCC to clone the drive to a disk image on the HD with all the data on it.

I don’t like cloning to a drive with multiple folders on there already. Might just be me, but I don’t find it to be ideal.

If you clone to a disk image, the only draw back is that it won’t be bootable. But, the image can be cloned to a new drive which will be bootable.
