No MDM, so I followed your directions. It asked for the Admin password, which I did not have. There are 3 accounts on this Mac, 2 general users and 1 Admin, I changed all the passwords, rebooted and I am golden!

That was to deal with " I can’t install something like SuperDuper because no administrator password " aspect that was brought up
Yes CCC is a good Third Party software as a adjunct to TM Backup and part of a 3-2-1 Rescue Plan

3 Backups using 2 methods and 1 off site incase of natural disaster or un-natural disaster.
