Create space-saving clones on macOS with Python The standard Mac filesystem, APFS , has a feature called space-saving clones. This allows you to create multiple copies of a file without using additional disk space – the filesystem only stores a single copy of the data. Although cloned files share data, they’re independent – you can edit one copy without affecting the other (unlike symlinks or hard links). APFS uses a technique called copy-on-write to store the data efficiently on disk – the cl
