The "old fashioned, direct way?"

Did you not read the Bombich link I provided above? Here is what it says in the very first paragraph:

"CCC 5.1.23 can now make bootable backups of a Big Sur startup disk on Intel-based Macs."

So, just like before Big Sur, one can use CCC on Intel-based Macs even with Big Sur. And that is what I mean by "direct".
Inasmuch as your linked doc is ancient (I'm running v 5.1.26-b2), I wasn't following you...thought you meant something else.
