[Avid-L2] Re: OT(ish): Carbon Copy Cloner

Curious why the target should be formated Fat32. If I'm cloning an HFS+ formated drive don't I want the target to be formated as HFS+. Since I should be able to use the new clone in place of the source drive doesn't it need to be HFS+? Perhaps I'm not understanding a particular mode CCC has that requires FAT 32.
