HDD Backup Took Up Space on HDD

[noodle654]

I dont really know why this happened, it has done it before and I dont know why at all. I am using CCC to backup my HDD, using a WD Passport Studio. Selected everything I wanted, came back to my computer with a message saying my HDD (Mac) was full. Funny, I had 13GB available. What did CCC do? Why did it do this?

Don't want to sound silly, but are you sure you selected the right drives in Target and Source?

Yes I did. 100% positive.

Is it really full or just saying it is?
Try running GrandPerspective to see what is on your HDD

Ok...for some reason it made a backup of my backup on my computer. It saved my external drive into folder /Volumes. However, I cant even find this folder. Is it hidden?

Fixed it. Don't really understand why this happened. My first guess is that I clicked archive, or something along those lines. The folder /Volumes was found through Finder->Go to Folder. Deleted the backup. But, why does this happen?
