![]() However, third-party backup apps definitely need your attention.Īs an example, I use Carbon Copy Cloner from Bombich Software to do a special bootable local backup, as well as Backblaze for a backup to the cloud. Time Machine is given the proper permissions when a Mac is upgraded to macOS Mojave, so it works correctly as soon as the upgrade is complete. Readers of the Rocket Yard know that we value backups highly, and many of the bloggers here not only use Time Machine for backups but other third-party apps. ![]() What this means is that your third-party backup apps may not be working properly at this time, so we suggest that you check those apps and update them or change settings as needed. Apps require specific permission to gain access to data on the Mac in Mail, Messages, Safari, Home, Time Machine backups and a variety of administrative settings. With macOS Mojave, improvements to the security of the operating system make it more difficult for apps to change settings in macOS and other apps. ![]() Hope I get a pardon from TidBITS and understanding that my intentions were good.Whenever a new operating system version comes out, there are always some apps or utilities that seem to require more attention than others. In short, you install Big Sur on the backup drive and then copy over the contents of the Data volume (see “ ChronoSync 4.9.12,” 13 November 2020)." He recommends waiting to upgrade or using Time Machine, although Time Machine backups serve a different purpose than a bootable backup.Įcon Technologies has developed a technique for creating bootable backups with ChronoSync, but it’s complicated. Similarly, Dave Nanian, the developer of the SuperDuper cloning utility, has said, “it’s going to be a while” before SuperDuper works with Big Sur. However, we can’t recommend upgrading to an operating system that requires a beta release to make bootable duplicates. Carbon Copy Cloner 5.1.23-b1 includes full support for making bootable backups in Big Sur. "The good news is that Mike Bombich, developer of Carbon Copy Cloner, has worked with Apple to resolve the issues. I have not asked permission to copy this from one of the publications received by email, so please be judicious with the use of the following (unlike me who took it without asking - guilty!). Just to add further information that others may find useful, which is the purpose of this post, I "borrowed" some text from TidBits which I read routinely. I hope the resolutions you require arrive as soon as possible. I gather Dave who does things so well wants especially to get it right as making clone backups that are bootable must be a touch more complicated than some other programs. I am grateful for those that work with Big Sur. Yet other programs, utilities as they are probably termed have been updated. An app, I also miss, CuteClips3 doesn't work either and the creator is working on a new version. SuperDuper is not an app as I erroroniously referred to it. Thank G-d for SuperDuper, which never falters, and for the time being feel lost without it. The irony is when ever I need to depend on Time Machine, it falters. On my iMac with an external 3TB bus powered (love it), Time Machine is working dandily for me. Sorry also to learn of your difficulties with Time Machine. I was only repeating his advice in case it was useful. It's Dave, the creator of SuperDuper, in his website blog recommendations who advised us to use Time Machine. But I know how to be mindful of how Dave does things, and waiting is. ![]() I doubt what I have posited is any surprise and a source of. Time Machine is set to do its thing but I never rely on Time Machine. Frankly, I rely on these apps and miss them, but I also respect Dave and others who are not going to rush a version that will turn around and bite us and then in turn Dave. There are also a number of other apps I use that are advising their user base that they, the engineers/creators are taking their time before rushing out a version. I, too, was very disappointed hoping that Apple would have released to creators like Dave in advance and with adequate time to develop a proper release. Dave is working on a solution for a version that he feels is worthy of being released that will work to the standards he maintains for Shirt Pocket's SuperDuper which Dave founded. ![]() He recommends using Time Machine in the interim. Dave stated that it would be foolish at this stage of just being introduced to Big Sur to rush a version that may work with Big Sur. I, too, am a long time user (since 2008). Visiting Shirt Pocket, David Nanian has already replied re Big Sur. My suggestion, jimpal, if you wish, is to wait for a reliable version of SuperDuper to work with Big Sur. ![]()
