HOW TO Check your clone

1 Show the sidebar

Tap the Show Sidebar icon at the top–left and you should now see a list of available drive volumes in the lower– left corner. The one we’re interested in is Backup Disk — Data where Backup Disk is the name of your external drive.

2 Select the snapshot

To the right of the big blue pane you should see a section headed “snapshot date” (see step 1). If this is your first time cloning, there’ll only be one entry here. Ctrl–click or Opt–click on it and then select Browse In Finder.

3 Browse your clone

Because we’ve cloned our drive, the Finder should contain the same folders, files and data as the original drive — and you can browse it just as you would browse your Macintosh HD or any external drive.
