![]() so I thought I would take a shortcut and ask you all.ĬONFESSION: To be honest, I am having trouble justifying a lot of effort on something that my past history indicates will seldom if ever, be necessary or used other than as a curiosity. Unless there is a lot of interest on FineTunedMac I will in all probability abandon the project. Has anyone been able to INSTALL a bootable copy of Monterey on an external drive?ĬONFESSION: To be honest, I am having trouble justifying a lot of effort on something that my past history indicates will seldom if ever, be necessary or used other than as a curiosity.Have you had any success creating a bootable Monterey CLONE using CCC or SuperDuper?.I have formulated a testing plan to isolate the cause of the failure, but it would take a lot of time and energy, both of which are in short supply at the moment, so I thought I would take a shortcut and ask you all. I have used CCC to create bootable external clones of Catalina and Big Sur in the past, but although I know that I created a Monterey clone before, I don’t recall if i ever actually booted it. I tried booting from the external drive three times with the same results. The boot process appeared to go normally up to a point - and then hung and never continued. Everything went according to plan until I attempted to boot from the clone. As a part of the CCC testing, I attempted creating a bootable clone using and the "legacy cloning" process, which I had done successfully several times in the past. To make a long story short, during the process, I downloaded the latest Carbon Copy Cloner update, CCC 6.1.1 (7323), and re-ran all my various CCC tasks to be sure the drive configurations were recognized and working. As part of the process I re-configured my various external drives and devices and I have been testing various applications mostly to be sure the various registrations, etc. I don't know much about harddrives and all that good technical stuff, but the documentation explains things on a very basic level so everyone (almost) will get it right.I am almost finished transferring to a new Apple Studio and updating it to macOS 12.4. It is wellstructured and it is clear and speaks straight to the user. Would any of you want to do a podcast on CCC or superduper? I would especialy look forward to one of Superduper, since I've thought of checking it out many times, but haven't found the time to do it.Įdit: One thing I forgot was that I really love the documentation on the website of CCC. That might be the same for superduper, but I haven't tested it out. They do care about accessibility and issues the users are facing. THey know their software and they are always willing to help. All this was very simple and not technical at all I would say.Īnother thing: I have never ever got so great support from any company like Bombichsoftware. I was able to fix this by booting from an external harddrive and then restore my old harddrive via CCC from my NAS-server. I've used CCC since 2012, and I will say that it is a great program, and it does its joj great.Īt some point I made some mistakes from terminal, that crashed my internal harddrive. I have never tried Superduper myself, so this is what I've found via google and other forums out there:Ĭarbon COpy Cloner (CCC) makes a full backup of your volume inclusive the recovery.
