I had a bodgy ram retention clip and it affected my ability to use all my ram. Apple kindly replaced the damaged bits, but in the process they had to replace the logic board and wipe my internal Hard Drive. I just finished restoring from timemachine which took 1.5 days. (it is a 8 TB internal), however i find my preferences in security and privacy are not all present anymore, so my wacom cintiq isn't working and it was a bit of a fiddle getting it working the first time. there could be other things not working too as all the things in input monitoring are gone just as an example. I do have a clone that i made by replicating the internal drive on CCC. It is an 8 TB spinner and very slow. Would it be better just to try and get things working by going to security and privacy and trying to add things there, or should i use my clone and try and get it onto my internal drive somehow.

I have restored a couple of times in CCC with no snag. However I use an NVMe SSD and even that can take time.
So I can imagine what an HDD will do - which I also have as part of the Pegasus J2i package I purchased. However that is my last resort if all else fails.
If you need to re-allow apps to access specific rights issue, wouldn't it just ask you to allow under the Security and Privacy settings and you will approve as they ask? If it doesn't pop up, then that means they don't need it?

The main problem is my wacom cintiq - I don't think all the things that were on the list are there anymore. I reallowed everything i could to do with wacom but the lists are really short in the security and privacy settings in the sections for accessibility and input monitoring. There used to be a lot more things in there and I can't even remember what they all were.
So apart from the issue of how long it would take to clone the spinner back to my main internal SSD, are there any other reasons why that should not be done to a mac with a T2 chip?

No, sorry my 8TB spinner is a Time Machine backup that is my last resort and formatted as APFS. The clone is from an NVMe SSD and contains the whole Macintosh HD files. However, when I restore I don't clone it back. I just let Apple restore and read off of the SSD drive.
That essentially enables Apple to re-create the cloned drive with no issues from my experience.

I restored from time machine. And i found my cintiq wasn't working. Things seemed to be missing from the security and privacy list that i used to have in there. so it didn't restore it completely back to normal unfortunately. Also i used to have a message about purgeable stuff that i used to ignore as i wanted to keep that stuff, but after the backup i think it got purged anyway.
