It's not exactly something that is easy to find.We want you to know that we could not, could NOT, in any way, do our work with the confidence, security, efficiency, and ease if we did not have your Carbon Copy Cloner as our most vital application. If you have any questions about how to turn off Local Snapshots that CCC makes, I can go into more detail. Long post I know but I hope this will assist some of you who may have pure flash storage and have High Sierra. Long story shortened: If you are a regular CCC user and have pure flash storage and using High Sierra, you might want to keep an eye on your drive space and decide whether or not to allow CCC to make Local Snapshots.
And by the way, got back 40 GB of my SSD space! Mike responded to me the very next day and directed me to the CCC knowledge base: įollowing the directions given in the CCC knowledge base, I was able to remove the CCC Local Snapshots and turn them off permanently. I then sent an email to Mike Bombich (developer of CCC) and included the above and asked him.
Here is what Terminal reported to me after I inquired about Local Snapshots: Turning off and/or removing Time Machine Local Snapshots was not returning the lost space. However, did you know that if you use Carbon Copy Cloner as your backup regimen that it too takes Local Snapshots of your APFS formatted SSD and stores them?Ī little history: I have been concerned that my SSD space was being used by something that I could not find. If you have any questions about that, please ask and we will address them. And as of High Sierra, Local Snapshots are taken for all Macs that have flash storage formatted to APFS.
As some of you may be aware, Local Snapshots are taken of your HHD/SSD by Time Machine and you may also know how to stop or remove them.
