![]() ![]() ![]() I don't think this works like it used to now the new MacOS has to be installed from recovery, or from a properly setup external bootable installer volume. We also used to restore from such a clone to a new internal drive when the internal drive had to be replaced. I have been making clones for many years, but the days of booting from and using such a clone long term seem to be gone. To restore, the right way is to boot into recovery and restore a fresh MacOS followed by a migration from a backup of user files. This works, but to me the bootable part is not really that important anymore because this bootable external drive cannot be updated to a later version of the MacOS - it can boot but is not fully functional in some senses. The process involves (a) complete erase to APFS+ of the external drive (entire device) using Disk Utility, (b) running SuperDuper instructing it to first erase (second erase, after the first Disk Utility erase) then make a bootable clone. SuperDuper claims to be able to clone Ventura to make bootable external drives. Does it even seem to begin booting macOS or does it just silently boot to the internal drive? What exactly happens when you attempt to boot the CCC cloned drive? I know these newer Macs usually don't provide much information. I'm able to pick the CCC clone as bootup but it doesn't boot into the image Also, connect the external drive directly to the Mac as well as disconnecting all other external devices in case one of them is interfering.Įdit: quang2550 wrote: I do enable the legacy feature but it doesn't boot up. Macs can also be picky about the drives used for booting macOS. You do need to run CCC from Ventura since running CCC from an older OS won't work (or work well). You should also check the CCC website to see if there are any known issues with CCC and Ventura 13.2 and an M1 Mac. If this does not work, then it may mean that CCC is not able to make a bootable clone of your M1 Mac. I believe you need to also configure CCC to erase the destination drive as well as selecting the "Legacy" option. Any macOS update could break it if it is not already broken. The Apple Silicon Macs have a different drive layout and behavior which is likely affecting the ability to make a bootable clone these days.Įven if bootable clones are still possible on Apple Silicon, I personally I would not rely on that ability to exist in the future. I also remember a post by him stating that Apple told him the ability to do bootable clones was not going to continue for much longer when he was working with Apple to restore CCC's bootable clone functionality with Big Sur (cannot find this post at the moment).ĪFAIK, CCC is still able to make bootable clones of macOS on Intel Macs. In fact the developer of CCC posted when Big Sur was still the current OS that bootable macOS clones were now just a "best effort" due to all the major security changes Apple was implementing. You can create a copy of your Mac’s drive ahead of any major operating system. You can then replace an older slower Mac drive with a newer, faster hard drive or SSD. Then cloning your internal startup drive gives you an exact copy. After on of the macOS Monterey updates, many people reported on these forums that CCC was no longer able to make a bootable clone of macOS on an M1/M2 Apple Silicon Mac. If you plan to replace your internal Mac disk drive. ![]()
