Using ccc to clone an apfs system with data partition

OK so you might have to work with me a little bit here because I’m not positive I will be using the terminology that people are expecting, but I will try to explain my question. Normally, I do a pretty large quantity of cloning hard drives onto solid-state drives for my customers for speed boost. Today I went to run a clone using super Duper and I found that apparently super Duper does not yet support Big Sur. Because of that I ventured over to using carbon copy cloner for the first time. No big deal on two of the computers I was working on, but on the third, the APFS drive is split into the data partition and the normal system partition. I did a little research but I couldn’t really find instructions that made me confident about the entire process. What I gathered was, I should use carbon copy to clone the data partition, and then manually install Big Sur on the newly created drive. That sounds a little weird to me so I wanted to make sure of the process. I’ve already finished copying the data partition, So the question is what to do next. I have a flash drive with Big Sur installation on it ready to go. Anyone who’s done this before, help would be appreciated. Thanks!
