Cloning external drive with Time Machine backups (very basic question)

You really cannot move TM files to a new drive and then have it working again (or even clone a TM drive). You should always start a new TM backup on a new drive and keep the old one just in case it is needed.

To add

Not even a Dedicated Cloning Software like Super Duper or Carbon Copy Cloner can Clone a Time Machine Backup Drive

Can I use CCC to copy a Time Machine backup?

What I do may or may not interest you. I have two external SSD backup disks. One is regularly backed up by my backup app Carbon Copy Cloner. The second disk is used for manually backing up - by me. It contains a copy of everything in my HD's desktop folder where all my files are located. Whenever I add a new file or change one, I immediately copy it to the second backup disk. That way I have double backup protection and everything is backed up to the minute.
