Great answer Joe. Do you know if SD has the Recovery thing down now?
I have no idea, but I would think it would have to.
You think for SD, that is then the norm, taking 1 hour to clone the Mac HD, even though not much has changed?
It is the norm for a
file-by-file clone no matter which app you are using; SD or CCC. Remember, Catalina has a few million files and each must be processed individually.
Been sticking with SD as the service is so great/personable
Don't misunderstand me, I am not encouraging you to switch from SD to CCC or stay with SD. I related my experience with both. Both have well deserved reputations for responsive developers and they both have strong opinions, prejudices, and preferences. You won't go too far wrong with either. [b]In my experience[/I] it
seems Mike Bombich, the developer of CCC, is quicker to adapt to Apple's evolving technologies and stays further out on the cutting edge, which is a better fit for me.
...but would that bug you taking so long for the clone?
Taking that long to clone is not a
deal breaker but why should I use a clone method that takes that long when there is an alternative method that takes a small fraction of the time and energy? In fact, it runs so quickly, I can run it on a bathroom break, without any additional interruption to my workflow. 🙆â€â™‚ï¸
