I ran First Aid on an external APFS-formatted HDD using Disk Utility on macOS. During the process, I noticed that the logs mention snapshots with the prefix “com.bombich.ccc”. However, I’ve never installed Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) on this mac. Some utility of CCC are now integrated in macOS? Here is the original log from the First Aid operation:
