If you no longer wish to use a particular remote Macintosh, you can click the Deauthenticate. Note that CCC errs on the conservative side with this rate, so the average transfer rate may be slightly lower than the limitation that you specify. If your ISP requires that your transfers stay below a certain rate, you can specify that rate here. Specifying the option to compress data passed over the network does not create a proprietary or compressed backup files are automatically decompressed on the destination volume on the remote Macintosh.ĬCC also offers a bandwidth limitation option. CCC will not compress certain file types that are already compressed, such as graphics files, movies, and compressed archives. If your bandwidth is better than that, compression may actually slow down your transfer. If you have a connection that is slower than 10MB/s, compression will make the transfer faster. The time savings depend on just how slow the connection is between the two Macs. The option to Compress data passed over the network can greatly reduce your backup time and total bandwidth used. Note: avoid selecting a volume or folder that contains an apostrophe (').ĬCC offers two options that can help you address bandwidth concerns. Select the volume or folder to use as the source or destination for your task.

The local Mac will have access to all data on the remote Mac, and administrative users on the remote Mac can gain access to the data that you back up to that Mac. Note: This step establishes a high level of trust between the local and remote Mac this is required to correctly preserve file ownership. For future authentication requests, CCC will use the PKA key pair. Those requirements are only for the initial public key installation.

#FTP BACKUP FOR MAC PASSWORD#
You must provide the username and password of an admin user on the remote Mac to permit this, and that admin user must have a non-blank password.

#FTP BACKUP FOR MAC INSTALL#
Once CCC has established a connection to the remote Mac, you will be prompted to install a Mac-specific Public Key Authentication (PKA) key pair onto the remote Mac. Be sure to configure the router to forward port 22 traffic to the IP address that is assigned to the remote Mac. If the remote Mac is not on your local network, you may need to specify the IP address of the public-facing router that your Mac resides behind. If you do not see your Mac listed here, type in the hostname of your remote Mac, then click the Connect button. Find and select your remote Mac in this list, then click the Connect button. CCC will present a browser that lists any hosts on your local network that advertise the Remote Login service. from CCC's Source or Destination selector.
