Hi,

My SSD boot (& main drive) on my mac pro shows 126 Gigs used while my backup drive done with CCC for a complete backup only lists 104. This is an old carry over system running Mavericks 10.9.5 (can't swallow yosemite so far).

Both have the recovery HD.

Can I just boot from the backup, erase the main boot drive & copy the back up over to the "main" drive and reboot ?
