I need to back up the OS and personal data on my MacBook Pro so that I can boot from this system clone or transfer it to a new Mac. Can I back up to a Toshiba external drive? Which app do you recommend for this task?
Making a bootable clone of the system drive is rather challenging. In fact, it’s not possible for Apple Silicon Macs running the latest macOS Sequoia. Even if you’re using an older system, a bootable copy is not guaranteed to work.
If you want to back up all your apps, settings, and personal data on the internal hard drive, you can use the Clone feature of iBoysoft DiskGeeker for Mac .
It can make an one-on-one copy of the system drive, backing up all your files to another external hard drive.
