I repurposed a time machine HDD for carbon copy cloner, set it up for scheduled backups, and got it going in about 10 minutes. It allows you to schedule backups and is very easy to configure. Love it, love it, love it. No wonder people have been singing its praises.
Got a tip for us?

It's one of the best apps ever made. The dev is highly responsive as well! Use it daily.
I have no problem with Time Machine as an additional backup to CCC. It works fine for simple lost file recovery.
Been using CCC since SnowLeopard.
One of the finest Mac Apps ever made.

Time to get your forum membership in line and start using CCC. If not, you will force me to report the post to the mods for further review.
I've been using CCC for more than a decade (can't ever remember what OS X version by year haha) and continue recommending it to any/everyone.
Had to do a Time Machine restore (reinstalled original version of macOS (including available updates) via Option-Shift-Command-R) for one of my kids recently. It worked however, remains a lot slower than doing a CCC restore.
