Time Machine backup volumes are now explicitly disallowed as source or destination selections on Big Sur. We're not planning to offer support for cloning to or from volumes that are [s]flagged as used for Time Machine volumes backups.
Does that edit of Mike's statement clarify the meaning of his statement? That is what I heard when I read it.
I think that clears it up for me. Thanks.
Since I don't run TM, I never knew, nor did it ever occur to me, that TM backups were offered as a sources.
And my confusion was compounded by Mike's use of "volumes" when, if I've understood you, "container" or "partition" would have been appropriate.
So, is my current understanding that CCC will still clone to a separate container/partition on a device that's also got a TM backup container/partition on it correct? (A separate volume in a TM backup container/partition being a no-go.)
