Beta 5 fails on MacBook Pro

Is that different than cmd r?

It shouldn’t be, but cmd + r wasn’t working on my mbp..but the ‘option’ key did.

I had tried that but it didn’t work for me . Glad it worked for you though!!

hmm...weird.. Are you on HS ?

On laptops, macOS saves local Time Machine backups on the internal drive when the external TM drive is not available. They are in a hidden folder labelled .MobileBackups. Perhaps you could have recovered that way.

"Hey, I just tried to restore an APFS image that CCC created back to my hard drive and CCC told me it will not be bootable as it is not supported yet by CCC? Argh. Hope I didn't give you **** advice. It's an APFS thing and CCC for sure."

I believe Mike Bombich (of CCC) put out a notice that CCC can't yet create a restorable clone of an APFS boot volume.

The ability to do that will require some work on CCC's part, and won't be available for a while yet.

I see no benefit from using APFS right now.
It's just not worth fooling with... yet (at the end-user level).

I've installed the various betas of High Sierra onto an OLD firewire800 hard drive using the old HFS+, and it runs well enough (considering the age of the drive and the connection scheme). Running developer preview #5 currently.

CCC5 will be out next week and will be fully functional, traded some emails with Mike. Great guy.
