#Carbon copy cloner high sierra pro

I had to send off my Macbook Pro off to Apple to get some work done used Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) to clone the drive, to make a fully bootable backup. Newbie here happy to have found this thread (and that it is basically active).forgive me if posting to a thread that is about two months since the last reply was made is unwelcome. It helps to keep paper and pencil nearby, to keep track of things as you go along. However, you CAN COPY the CONTENTS of these folders. These are the folders named 'Music', 'Pictures', 'Movies', 'Documents', etc. I believe these are 'more than' just 'folders' - they are 'symbolic links'. put a check into this box, then close the get info box.Д«E AWARE that you CANNOT COPY the 'main subfolders' in your old account (backup) to the new one. toward the bottom left (in the 'sharing and permissions' area), there is a checkbox 'ignore ownership on this volume'Д¦. in the bottom right, click on the lock icon and enter your passwordДҐ. type 'command-i' (eye) to bring up the get info boxД¤. click ONE TIME on the icon to select itДЈ. mount backup on desktop (just the drive icon)Дў. If you choose to do this - that is, if you wish to just 'drag over' stuff from the backup to a newly-created account on the internal drive - you need to take an extra step to avoid permissions problems.ДЎ. That means: just plug in the backup, mount it on the desktop, and 'copy over what you need'.

It will create an exact copy of the internal drive in 'plain old finder format'.
