HFS or OSX Journaled for CCC Clone?
Hi All.
Pretty new to the MacOS here and I want to clone a 150 GB and a 1 TB HD (laptop and desktop machine respectively).
I'm reading up and getting some help from the list here but I see I am missing a couple of pieces of information.
First, I am currently formatting my external drives as OSX Journaled. I have two internal HD's running Windows (XP and Windows 7) but my understanding is that neither of these come into the discussion except with respect to my needing Mac Drive and Paragon software to read and/or write from the two OS's to each other.
Anyway, am I correct in thinking that the external drives should be formatted as OSX Journaled?
What is the reference to HFS+ that I see in the CCC documentation? Is this simply for formatting a drive that is going to receive a clone?
Also, I see that there is a reference to GUID and APM and I believe I am on Intel Based Macs in both cases. I gather the reference here is to the fact that I need to use some kind of drive format software that will partition my 2 TB drive into two partitions using GUID - if I do in fact decide that I want to Clone both of these machines to the same drive?
At that point I start to wonder if I should just skip the Partition Step and just clone each to a separate drive.
Would anyone mind giving me a reasonably long enough explanation to just nail this down for me? I'm savvy in some respects but the acronyms and the partitioning in particular are not my strong suits.
Thanks!
