Hi, just looking for a sort of “best practices” approach for simple backup of multiple portable HDs to a newly purchased 10 tb HDD Probably should’ve gone bigger, but can always get another one.
For now though if i’m just wanting to backup multiple externals, SSDS, old HDD …onto this main drive. I’m all Macs here so i figured i’d format this HFS+journaled.
Do you think it is it best to use something like Carbon Copy Cloner or…Disk Utility to create a disk image of each drive? I don’t know if drag and drop of contents of each volume into a single folder would be optimal, because i would think Finder behavior could get unstable navigating 2 to 4tb of data in a folder.
These volumes dont need to be bootable - its just backing up all data files and folders. Not System files.
Thanks for any perspectives!
