You can copy the Bootcamp partition back onto your main hard drive after you've done a system upgrade.

My understanding from reading the FAQs is that CCC will copy the Bootcamp partition, but that you can't directly boot into the Bootcamp partition using the cloned drive.

Does anyone who uses a Bootcamp partition know the preferred means of backup via these software packages? I'm asking for someone else, since I don't use Windows on my Mac. I have one question for others who have used these products. However, many new users like the more extensive documentation of SuperDuper! So it really is a question of style, here. I like the fact that CCC gives good, brief descriptions, and seems to be a bit faster.

Lynne Smith, one of the mods/owners of the mac-access list wrote up a nice article on making backup clone drives with CCC, SuperDuper! or with Terminal:ДЄs Mike says, both of these are good products. Want an easy & free way to clone hard drive using bootable USB flash drive without booting into Windows Read this article and get the best practice. However, he's currently working on his own projects, so there is no direct affiliation with Apple now. Mike Bombich (developer of CCC) did work for Apple for several years after writing the first few versions of CCC for his own work as an IT support guy in higher education, and then making it generally available.

For the purposes of making a bootable clone of your hard drive, which is one of the main uses of these programs in contrast to Apple's built-in Time Machine backup, either program will work: this functionality is complete in the free trial download of SuperDuper! And like Mike and Dan, I'm mostly using CCC right now, but I think it's more a question of personal preference. Next I hooked it up via SATA internally, tried Carbon Copy Cloner. Like Mike, I've used both SuperDuper! and Carbon Copy Cloner. First I tried using SuperDuper with the SSD in a USB enclosure wouldnt boot when I set it as the first boot device, the drive shows up with an apple symbol in chameleon (booting from my original drive) but i got KP right away when I tried selecting it.
