Voorbeeldscenario’s

This article is primarily written for users running macOS Yosemite or El Capitan.

When you select a volume as the source and destination, CCC copies the entire contents of that volume (minus anything you exclude) to the destination volume, preserving the full hierarchy of folders on the source. If you don't want to preserve that hierarchy, you can back up a specific folder from the source to a specific folder on the destination. In this configuration, CCC will copy the contents of the selected folder to the selected destination folder, without the hierarchy up to that source folder.

Backing up multiple volumes or multiple Macs to a single hard drive can be a messy proposition. If you back up each source volume to the same destination volume without some pre-planning, data from each source volume will be merged in a heap on the backup volume. Additionally, your tasks will archive or delete each other's backed up content. Carbon Copy Cloner can solve this problem! We lay out a few different scenarios and solutions below.

No, CCC will exclude the Backups.backupdb folder during a backup task because Time Machine backup folders contain Apple-proprietary filesystem devices. Apple does not document a procedure for making copies of Time Machine volumes.

Create a new task

Click on the New Task button in the toolbar to create a new task, then type in a name for the new task.

Select a source volume

Click on the Source selector button, then choose the volume that you want to copy files from.

Select a destination volume

Click on the Destination selector button, then choose the volume that you want to copy files to.

Generally, yes. Performance will be affected during the backup task (especially the first one) as CCC reads the entire source volume and writes to the destination volume. If your work is "disk bound" — that is your applications are reading or writing to either the source or destination, then you'll notice a performance hit. If you're just reading email or writing a document, then you probably won't notice the performance hit.

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.

Vaak is het antwoord: waarschijnlijk wel. Toch zijn er enkele zaken waarmee u rekening moet houden.

CCC kan een reservekopie van de inhoud van de Boot Camp-partitie maken maar kan geen opstartbare kloon van de partitie maken. Als u een reservekopie van uw gebruikersgegevens op de Boot Camp-partitie wilt maken, kan CCC dat voor u doen. Mocht u echter de Boot Camp-partitie willen migreren naar een nieuwe harde schijf, dan kiest u beter een alternatieve oplossing zoals WinClone of een van de commerciële virtualisatie-oplossingen die een migratie vanaf Boot Camp aanbieden.
