I clone my Mac weekly to an external USB drive, with Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC).
Ideally, I'd use 2 separate USB drives, and alternate which I clone to each week.
But SSDs are expensive, so with just 1 drive, should I ...
- have 2 partitions, and alternate which I clone to each week?
- have just 1 partition / 1 clone, no alternating?
Does the alternating-partition method really provide any benefit? Any physical issue would effect both clones. And for any corruption, I could just redo the clone.
Your expert thoughts?
