Hello,
Any recommendations on backing up using Time Machine and SuperDuper side by side (SXS) on the same disk and using APFS for the SuperDuper backup?
[I have two separate drives and rotate one offsite weekly, in addition to continuous cloud backup for important work]
In the past, I always used one HFS drive for both TM and SD and it worked out just fine.
I read Practice Makes Perfect (https://www.shirt-pocket.com/blog/index.php/shadedgrey/comments/practices_make_perfect_backups/), but didn't really see an answer there, other than "don't be a Goofus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goofus_and_Gallant)".
From near as I can tell, the options are to stay with one giant HFS volume (ie, not use APFS) or split the drive into two partitions: one for TM on HFS and the other for SD on APFS.
Thoughts?
