Using SuperDuper with Monterey

I just upgraded a 2019 Macbook Pro from Catalina to Monterey. I read the blog for instructions on clones under Monterey, which is a little different than under Catalina.

I erased the target (backup) drive with Disk Utility to make it APFS. Then ran SuperDuper with Erase then Copy, which appeared to make a clone that looked correct. But noticed two things:

(1) the log indicated

| 01:42:25 PM | Info | Finished erase
| 01:42:26 PM | Info | PHASE: 2. Copy Files
| 01:42:26 PM | Info | ...ACTION: Copying files from Macintosh HD to MacBookProClone19Dec2021
| 01:42:27 PM | Info | ......COMMAND => Replicating Macintosh HD to MacBookProClone19Dec2021
| 01:42:27 PM | Info | Initializing
| 01:42:27 PM | Info | Validating target...done
| 01:42:39 PM | Info | Validating source...done
| 01:42:40 PM | Info | Replicating System Volume
| 01:43:30 PM | Info | Completed System Volume replication. Copied 322.95 GB
| 01:43:44 PM | Info | Replicating Data Volume
| 01:58:28 PM | Info | Completed Data Volume replication. Copied 322.95 GB
| 01:58:28 PM | Info | Finalizing

The System Volume was actually about 16 GB and the cloned copy also showed up as 16 GB when viewed in Disk Utility, so the copy looked correct but the log above said it copied the System Volume as 322.95 GB, but that is actually the size of the Data Volume not the System Volume.

(2) After the clone (under Monterey) was done, in the Sidebar the clone showed up as an ejectable external drive with the same name as the source (Macintosh HD) but Disk Utility showed the correct clone name.

Should I be concerned, or maybe redo the clone? I checked the log carefully and there was no indication of any errors of any sort, everything in the log indicated that the clone worked properly.
