How to Clone your macOS Hard Drive | Carbon Copy Cloner

Wonderful step-by-step tutorial! Thanks.

Dang, the last time I used CCC was probably ... 12 years ago! 🤪

Waaaay--minor nitpick: It's probably best to not name the two disks exactly the same, to avoid confusing the two (wipe out the wrong disk!).

Hello,
hat heat sink did you put your SSD in? Was it in the heat sink when you had it in the bootable drive device? Great video. thanks, for any tips.

I don’t get it …does it erase your internal hardrive when cloning to the new hardrive ? Or does it keep both ?

Every time I try to enable "legacy bootable copy", it will not clone, it fails every time...

Thank you very much for this guide! Other tutorials didn't include the part about Legacy Bootable Copy Assistant so this was very helpful.
One thing I'd like to add is that for my SSD, I had to press the 'Option' key when rebooting and select the cloned SSD in order to boot from it.

I have a mid-2015 iMac with Big Sur OS installed. Using CCC v6 I followed these instructions to clone my internal hard drive to a Crucial 1TB SSD. The cloning went perfectly but when I then try and boot off the SSD my iMac would only identify the internal drive as a bootable disc.

I can clone but Appstore gives me an Error...on Monterey, Venture and Sonoma Appstore dont start. Have anyone a solution for it ?

Non bootable?

can you boot and run your Mac from the external drive?

I'm not seeing the Legacy Boot option when I right-click the destination drive.

But mine didn't boot

Good video thanks for this.!!!
