Recently I've found all my SoftRAID volumes have .apdisk files on the root of the drive. When I'm cloning a non-RAID SoftRAID volume with CCC, should I include those .apdisk files or are they better left unchecked for copying?
I tried googling what are those .apdisk files but only found information they might be related to network drives, and now that I've find non of my non-SoftRAID volumes has them but SoftRAID volumes have I'm assuming they are related to using SoftRAID.

not certain about .apdisk files. They are indeed hidden network files, probably similar to .dstore files.
SoftRAID does not create them, and is not involved with them in any way.
Probably leave CCC at its default settings on this.

Thanks for answering this. Good to know SoftRAID doesn't create or need them.
Just realized the drive currently in the cloning process is a WD My Passport Wireless, which has networking capability (that I never use as connecting to iPhone and iPad just is too cumbersome), so of course there might be network drive related hidden files. And I guess I've just previously cloned those files to the 3,5" backup hard drives with the default CCC setting of cloning everything.
