CCC will not copy a Time Machine volume when performing a **file-level** copy. However, when performing a **block-level** clone, CCC is able to clone a Time Machine volume. from the CCC knowledge base (http://help.bombich.com/faqs/troubleshooting/cloning-time-machine-backup): "For this reason and others, support for directory hard links has not been implemented in CCC's file-level synchronization engine. CCC's block-level cloning engine, on the other hand, does preserve directory hard links, and is therefore capable of cloning a Time Machine volume." Hi,
