Is there a way to copy the whole disk and to replace all the
files/folders on the target disk without touching one?

In other words, I've used CCC to make a bootable backup of my main
drive. Since that time. on the target drive I've put a folder there that
contains a bunch of stuff that I don't want erased and that is not on my
source drive.

Is there a way to do another CCC to the target drive, erasing all files
except this folder I put on there?
