Or, if your Mac is completely dead, you can connect your clone disk to almost any other Mac and boot from it.Įither way, just like that you’re back to work with all your apps and files right where you expect them. If your Mac’s startup disk is causing problems, you can simply restart your Mac while holding down the Option key to summon the Startup Manager, and then select your clone disk and click the little arrow below it (or press Return) to boot from it. Technically SD is considered the gold standard, CCC, Synk 6, and Chronosync are a notch below (though that might only refer to some missing advanced features like the ability to copy a Time Maschine backup or some smaller issues in previous versions that have since been resolved).The bottom line is this: If having your Mac out of service for half a day or more would harm your business or workflow, you need a bootable clone in addition to a traditional backup (or backups). CCC is a bit more flexible, Chronosynk and Synk are even more flexible (though currently Synk 7 is a train wreck and should be avoided unless you like being a beta tester of backup software, the previous Synk 6 was pretty solid but is no longer sold). So, for the simple problem of yours, SD might be the best tool. Chronosync gets recommended here semi-regularly but I have no personal experience with it but I think it allows other than complete disk to complete disk backups, ie, it is more flexible than SD. Trying to backup drive only part of a drive is more complex with it and backing up to a folder even more so (if not downright impossible.īut even for managing multiple backup scripts I find SDs interface less than optimal. SuperDuper has the easiest UI - for backing up a complete drive to another complete drive (which is what you want here).
Which program would be better? SuperDuper or ChronoSync? I know this thread is very old, but I'm needing to backup one external hard drive to another external hard drive and I want them both synched.
