Question Replacing a 5TB with a 10TB

[DrWho345]

MacOS Monterey using Carbon Copy Cloner, cloning a 5TB external HDD onto a 10TB External HDD
I need to talk nerd for a second, with anyone.

I use 4K TokKit to download TiKTok Accounts, my 5TB is nearly full, and I am cloning it onto a 10TB for a bit more space. <Advertising link removed by Moderator>

My hope is that when it finishes (have taken over 60 hours so far) I want to shut down my computer, take the 10TB, call it the same as the 5TB and basically attempt to try and carry on, as if nothing happened.

The program currently has the destination folder on the 5TB, if I call the 10TB the same thing, will it use it as if nothing happened?

Cloning may leave you with a 5TB partition, rather than a 10TB one.

I don't really see a need for cloning a backup to copy data from one place to another. Normal file operations work just fine for this job. If you need something more robust (like robocopy or Tera Copy for Windows), I'm pretty sure there's a utility for that.

Thanks for the reply but Robocopy and Tera Copy are for Windows and I have a Mac. I wish I could make the transfer rate faster, but it is still both HDD's and over USB. I don't have another solution...

I just hope that when it is finished I can name it, what the 5TB was, and continue on as if nothing happened

I only mentioned those two as a reference, hence why I said "for Windows." Tera Copy however is available for Mac (as are a few other utilities https://alternativeto.net/software/robocopy/?platform=mac)
