I just got a new Mac and did a clean install because of my permanent Finder problems. There was no day without "killall Finder". It's on the new Mac again. I hoped for an update today.

iOS 18.2.1 came out yesterday, I wonder why Apple didn’t release a macOS update as well. Seqoia could surely use some bug fixing, could it be they will release it today? I’m not talking about the major 15.3 update but a more minor .1 update like 15.2.1 perhaps

My point was, I rather trust a backup software, where the support is not telling me, everything is my fault because I am doing stuff in the background what is interrupting the backup, when I even wrote (at least the second time) that really nothing else was running.

And I wrote both times, it seems to be a macOS bug, because I am using the Developer Betas.

As we all know, there is much in Sequoia that either doesn't work correctly or work like it has in the past. I'm guessing you had a problems with SuperDuper and CCC. I had a problem with Backblaze from the Sequoia release until last week.

I could inherit my previous Backblaze backups from Sonoma and later installs of various versions of Sequoia, but Backblaze would never acknowledge it was finished with the initial backup. After 114 emails back and forth, the Backblaze folks told me to exclude my iCloud folder from the backup. When I did that, Backblaze started working as it did in the past. Having my iCloud folder excluded from the Backblaze backup is no big deal for me since I only have five files in iCloud and they are backed elsewhere.

I also use ChronoSync, but I never used it to make a bootable disk. I had to fiddle around with some of the ChronoSync settings, but it worked pretty well from Sequoia Day 1.

Sorry, I haven't read about that yet.

But I never had any problem with CCC using the standard option or TimeMachine with any beta of 15.2 or 15.3 or before. Don't know what would happen when I try a complete restore. I luckily never needed that.

But since Super Duper doesn't work anymore also something in CCC had problems. I think it was the legacy option for bootable drives. But that was also legacy before the first beta of 15.0 even existed.

CCC is also still able to backup to HFS formatted drives, what the others are not. The problem is just the missing encryption option. I used that for a while but then rather changed back to the standard setting with APFS encrypted.

There seems to be a general problem just cloning the boot drive to an external one. I tried this already twice before with 15.0 or 15.1 and wasn't able to boot from it. It just stopped shortly after the pogress bar appeared and moved a little. I had to do a reinstall on an empty drive and use the Migration Assistant.

I wonder if my iMac's external boot drive is working on my new Mac mini or generally on other Macs.
