While the SuperDuper! cloned drive ejects when the app quits, said quitting is a manual process. With Carbon Copy Cloner, though, the app quits when finished & the drive is ejected.
Clones done. One clone & one Time Machine drive goes to the Men's Shed with me for safe-keeping. The 2nd Time Machine backup will take longer, it's also 64 GB but is being done via USB 3 instead of Thunderbolt 1.
One Time Machine backup done, another commenced. Carbon Copy Cloner is cloning to another HD while SuperDuper! finishes the first clone. The SD clone is ejected when the app is closed.
Time Machine backup is really scooting along, 41 of 64 GB done with an estimated 12 minutes remaining. There's also SuperDuper! app doing a clone at the sane time.
The MBA is using 140 GB of its 512 GB SSD. The first Time Machine drive I attached to perform backups prior to installing Sierra wants to back up 64 GB of stuff. 10 GB completed now over Thunderbolt 1.
Copied 4.77 GB Sierra installer copied to external SSD from MBA over Thunderbolt 1 in under a minute. Now it's backup tine.
Started downloading Sierra: strangely it was NOT in the Updates secrion. It was in the Featured section.
@larand BA model, 2002 to mid 2005. Quite good cars when treated properly. That one's a bit tired.
