No you can use either or both, I use both as TM is a slightly different thing and CCC is straight file copy. CCC works by comparing what is on original drive and backup drive and copies anything from original to backup to make them the same, if something on original is deleted then so is the backup copy (there is an option to save it for a period of time).

If you want to have two destinations for backup on a single drive then it needs partitioned. I can send you screen grabs of how mine is set up if you would like....

John,

Thank you very much to you and to the others for your answers. I think that your advice would be the best and I would like download the trial version to verify how it works, even so I’m not sure about up to which point will be compatible with Time Machine. I’ve read the explanations and it looks to me that you use either Time Machine or Carbon Copy.

It’s right?

Thank you
Lluis

Any idea if this exists? I have asked an Apple dealer and said me that this doesn’t exist…
