Can I back up directly to an AFP or SMB network file share? How about to a Time Capsule? |

CCC can back up directly to an HFS+ formatted local volume, or to a disk image on any writable network volume. CCC cannot, however, backup directly to a network filesystem (e.g. AFP, SMB, CIFS, NAS, Airport Extreme "Airdisk", or Time Capsule). There are significant technical limitations to backing up an HFS+ filesystem to a non-HFS+ filesystem -- most notably preservation of ownership and permission information -- that would make it impossible to create a faithful, bootable, non-proprietary backup of your data. Therefore I recommend and support backing up only to a disk image on non-HFS+ filesystems.
