What are folks using to clone an APFS boot disk to HFS+?

CarbonCopy Cloner 5 and 4 appear to refuse to copy system data due to lack of attribute mapping.

I just tested it on CCC 5. No problem at all, I can clone my APFS boot partition (SSD) to a HFS+ Partition (HDD) without any error / warning. And the system can boot from it without any problem.

I'm going to try it with a Firewire external spinning HD later on......

EDIT: It works fine.
