Not true.

Not true.

They are brought back as part of the restore, along with apps and settings.

Nope, that's not accurate at all.

For certain values of "exact clone" yes, that is true, depending on the
settings you chose. CCC can keep differential backups to some extent.

Yes, though for many files TM stores the changes, and not entirely new
copies of the changed file (Pages docs, for example).

I would never combine backups onto a single drive.

HD space is extremely cheap. Absurdly cheap.

Thanks for the comments on not putting both on a single drive. Makes a
lot of sense.

It can also be set to archive the old (including deleted) files.
