#CarbonCopyCloner

Good morning Fedi friends and happy Sunday!

I just arrived in Italy at my parents' 🥳​

I literally let out a happy scream when I saw that my monitor is connected to an HDMI switch (I couldn't remember if I had taken it to Paris or I had one here). This means I can seamlessly switch between my Mac Mini and my Raspberry Pi 5 - YAY.

I'm currently in the process of backing up my photo and video libraries to my local drive... I'm pretty adamant in having 4 copies of my data... with 2 off-site (one at my parents' and one at my in-laws') 💁‍♀️​

And no I don't trust cloud backups with my media because... the cloud is someone else's computer... and my full photo/video library is 2.2 TB 😅​

Anyway, backup now and pizza with the family soon 🍕​

Have a great day everyone!

P.S.: edit/update: I've been meaning to give a shout-out to my favorite software EVER for peace of mind: #CarbonCopyCloner on Mac. It's so smart, evaluating changes on drives and only copying new things

a screenshot of Carbon Copy Cloner as it runs... it's evaluating my Photos folder (at the source and destination) and copying over new files only. It says it discovered 116133 photos (699 GB) and copied 4229 photos (11 GB) so far

Overnight my macOS Catalina server filled up its disk thanks to #CarbonCopyCloner creating a copy of the external clone drive's Data partition to the internal drive's Data partition. It's never done that before. I don't know whether some mount point got messed up and confused Catalina or what. Anyway, thanks to ChatGPT's help I located and fixed the problem. It's even making suggestions to configure CCC so it doesn't happen again. So weird, but then, weird problems find me.

Die Zeitangabe bei macht schon echt stark der Windows Fortschrittsanzeige Konkurrenz. 🙄

My SSD is 1TB in size. The USB-C HDD backup device is 2TB. How can the backup be 8.85TB? And why does that take almost 42 hours? #CarbonCopyCloner

Seems the folks at Carbon Copy Cloner took a page from the @zachleat book on web design.

Checkout form when purchasing the Carbon Copy Cloner app.

A giant bright-green "View Help" button sits next to the input fields for card number and card expiration date.

The button is 3 times larger than any input field, and clearly outgrew its layout position. The button pops out and even goes over top of nearby text and input fields.

Ah, doch - bei den Backup Plänen ist es eine Tortengrafik und rechts ganz oben ein grauer Balken wo der Fortschritt gezeigt wird. Man muss halt nur auch hinschauen 😅

CCC6 legacy Bootable Backup. Mit der Funktion gibt es wohl keinen echten Fortschrittsbalken. Mal schauen ob das Tempo so bleibt … hoffentlich nimmt es noch zu … zum Glück nur eine 1 TB SSD die so knapp über 3/4 voll ist - mein nächstes MBA wird recht sicher 2 TB bekommen 🫣 aber ob das schon 2025 kommt weiß ich nicht - das M1 ist so schön und so verdammt gut 🥰

is one of very few piece of software that when I see a major release with a paid upgrade that I just pay for it, almost without question. Three years of reliable backups is worth way more than the $25 upgrade fee. I only wish Mike Bombich were on the fediverse to tag in this post!

Currently doing a backup of my MacBook using Carbon Copy Cloner and wondering if this means it thinks it has 1h 27m left or 16 minutes left… 🤔 #backups #CarbonCopyCloner

I own a lot of backup software - which I use to synchronise data between directories and for building updates to my EPUB books, ! Which I use to clone HFS+ volumes, and now , for its easy “add a recovery partition to a bootable cloned volume” function.

Common to all these apps, is fantastic customer support, and longevity of function, typified by just releasing a update to fix a bug specific to using Macs.

Bei mir erledigt das zum einen und zum anderen . Letzteres sichert auch explizit den -Vault. Aber ich sollte es öfters laufen lassen. Die automatische, kurzfristige Sicherung via , wie von @ellane vorgeschlagen, ist ein sinnvolles, zusätzliches Sicherheitsnetz ... blog.plaintextpaperless.com/p/

My main computer is a M1 which I love and most of my backup go via to the Mini Stack STX with a total of 10 TB of storage 🥳
