Hi Bergier3K,
Glad to hear you finally got your drive. As for the drive data copying, unfortunately I don't think the CCC is going to help.
CCC works to make a bootable clone for both Big Sur and Monterey.
Use the Legacy Bootable Backup assistant.
Rules:
- The system must be running the macOS to be cloned or the result won't boot.
- The target must be formatted APFS so CCC will recognize it.
- Click on target to find Legacy Asst. The Legacy Asst depends on Apple APFS system Replication Utility to perform the clone. This is not CCC code.
- The clone requires erasing the target.
- If any IO error occurs on the source or target the clone operation fails with a cryptic error that doesn't explain an IO error occurred
- You can make incremental (regular) backups to the resulting clone using CCC if no Apple SW has been updated since the original clone.
- On Big Sur the clone has the same volume name as the target and changing it using Finder or Disk Utility doesn't update a text file used by boot loaders to display the volume name. This can be fixed by editing that file, but finding it is a PITA because it's in the APFS Preboot partition and its path gets overlaid by another directory in a running system.
