    • Download Carbon Copy Cloner from the Bombich Software Website.

    • Install it onto your macOS based computer. You will need administrator privileges later, as well as to move CCC into the Applications folder on your computer.

    • You can download it here.

    • I used CCC 5 for this process and if the user interface changes in the future I will promptly update the guide.

    Aaron, Please post the version info for the app you used.

I have used CCC for years and years. It is an excellent program!

When upgrading MAC OS to a new version, I always clone a drive before starting the upgrade.

What if you have several volumes on each disk ? Does it scan the entire structure and boot options ?

Fran Werttt - Responder

CCC clones per volume, not per disk. So you have to clone each volume on their own, how many are bootable?

What about using Restore on Disk Utility read on web that this in itself a cloning method don’t have to go for 3rd party apps

GBish - Responder

Unfortunately that method has some glitches for some users. (Like myself) see error OSStatus error 22

I’ve used Restore from Disk Utility and it worked very well. First boot with Cmd-R held down. Make sure to Unmount internal and external drives, then select Restore blank drive from old one.

Thanks for writing the guide! Will this clone be ready to once I insert the clone drive in? Should I make a boot disk?
