The only thing that is not quite settled in my mind is just how to make a bootable clone of my Mojave OS ( using Carbon Copy Cloner ) just in case the Catalina is not OK. If it is OK then I will erase the bootable version of Mojave and create a bootable clone of Catalina. As I back up to Time Capsule and, every so often, to Time Machine with an external hard disk drive I don't need to back up anything except the OS to Carbon Copy Cloner. CCC Help explains how Catalina has separate APFS Volume Groups with the System being read only to make it less vulnerable to hacker attacks.

Note: This will erase all data on the specified disk

Backup Carbon Copy Cloner ( CCC ) or Time Machine ( TM ). The other option would be move to Catalina with installed LR6 and in the future if the LR6 fails then. Carbon Copy Cloner uses the Apple Software Restore (ASR) utility to clone the System Partition on Intel to work around new Big Sur restrictions. ASR does not work on M1. For a new system, I really like using the Migration Assistant anyway.

Launch Apple's Disk Utility

Open a Finder window and navigate to Applications > Utilities and double click on Disk Utility.

The remaining steps vary considerably depending on the operating system you are running. Choose About This Mac from the Apple menu to determine your current OS, then make a selection below.

Instructions for Big Sur, Catalina, Mojave, and High Sierra

Show All Devices

Disk Utility offers a very simplified view of your devices by default. Unfortunately, this hides the devices that you need to select to modify the partitioning of your backup disk. Before doing anything else in Disk Utility, choose Show All Devices from the View menu, or from the View popup button in Disk Utility's toolbar.

Select the destination disk

Click to select the disk that you would like to use as the destination for your CCC task. This disk should not be the same as your startup disk.

The name of a new disk will often include the manufacturer’s name (e.g. WD My Book 111D Media..). A startup disk will often include the manufacturer's serial number in the title (e.g. TOSHIBA MK50..). Please pay particular attention to selecting the disk, not one of the volumes on the disk. You must select the whole disk to correctly initialize the device. If your disk is a Fusion device, you may erase the 'container' within it instead.

Unmount any volumes on the specified disk

Disk Utility occasionally has problems with unmounting a volume while attempting to erase it (e.g. because Spotlight prevents the unmount request). Click the Eject button next to any volumes on the disk to preemptively unmount them before erasing the disk.

Erase the specified disk

Click on the Erase button in Disk Utility's toolbar, then configure the name, format, and partitioning scheme of your disk. You can set the name to whatever you like, but set the Scheme to GUID Partition Map. If you do not see the Scheme option, go back two steps and select the whole disk device, not one of the volumes on the disk.

Choosing a Format for your destination volume

If your destination device is an HDD with a rotational speed of 5400RPM (or slower): (e.g. 'Slim' backup devices, 2.5' disks) APFS is not designed for these devices, macOS boot performance may be poor. You can format these devices as APFS and try to make a bootable backup, but if the performance of the device is too slow to be practical, then we recommend you choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) for the format. If you are making a backup of a Big Sur or Catalina startup disk, you should create a from Disk Utility's Edit menu. If you chose another format, select the backup volume, then click the 'Partition' button in Disk Utility's toolbar.

Instructions for El Capitan and Sierra

Select the destination disk

Click to select the disk that you would like to use as the destination for your CCC task. This disk should not be the same as your startup disk.

The name of a new disk will often include the manufacturer’s name (e.g. WD My Book 111D Media..). A startup disk will often include the manufacturer's serial number in the title (e.g. TOSHIBA MK50..).

Erase the specified disk

Click on the Erase button in Disk Utility's toolbar, then configure the name, format, and partitioning scheme of your disk. You can set the name to whatever you like, but set the Format to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and set the Scheme to GUID Partition Map, then click the Erase button.

Don't Use Time Machine

Click Don’t Use. You may use the same backup disk for both Time Machine and CCC backups, but if you do so, you must use a dedicated partition for the Time Machine backup. Otherwise Time Machine will consume all available space on the backup volume and make it impossible for CCC to use the backup volume.

Instructions for Yosemite

Select the destination disk

Click to select the disk that you would like to use as the destination for your CCC task. This disk should not be the same as your startup disk.

The name of a new disk will often include the storage capacity and manufacturer’s name (e.g. 500.07 GB WD My Passp..). A startup disk will often include the manufacturer's serial number in the title (e.g. 320.07 GB TOSHIBA MK3255GSXF Media).

Partition the disk

Click on the Partition tab.

Choose 1 Partition from the Partition Layout popup menu (or more if desired).

Click on Options.

Choose GUID Partition Table, then click the OK.

Name the Volume

Format the Volume

Select Mac OS Extended (Journaled) from the Partition Format popup menu.

Click Apply.

Ensure that you have selected the correct disk. This step will delete all data from the selected disk. Click Partition.
