Not quite the way it works... when you first create a clone using CCC, everything is cloned. Subsequent clones, though, only write and/or erase the data that has been changed since the last clone. So it doesn't copy everything all over again, just that which has changed since the last clone.


I use CCC to make clones of my internal drive and to clone my 2TB 'working' drive. After the initial clone, it's usually only a matter of 15-20 minutes to update the data. Unlike Time Machine, CCC simply creates exact copies of your drives and it's just one part of my backup schemes. I rotate 5 drives for my internal and just keep my working drive and my clone of it synchronized.
