| Feb 12, 2020 at 11:46 | comment | added | Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen | Why not just take your current Time Machine backup disks offline once in a while and replace with new ones while storing the old ones offsite. Then you have multiple backups back in time without adding much more complexity than just swapping a USB-drive once in a while. | |

| Feb 11, 2020 at 22:41 | comment | added | Gordon Davisson | A Time Machine backup isn't bootable (well, it can boot into a Recovery environment), but if it's a full-system backup you can do a full-system restore from it. You're unlikely to boot & run from the CCC backup anyway (more likely restore it to a new computer/disk), so I don't think this is a big difference. On the other hand, I've heard of Time Machine having backup problems (including silent failures) that make me nervous about relying on it alone. | |
