CCC will do just fine under Mojave with a backup drive formatted to
Mac Extended Journaled. This will change after Mojave however where the
backup drive will have to be APFS but CCC should be ready for that by
September.

Hello Robert,
This is just my opinion, but the answer kind of depends upon whether or not you
intend to run Mac OS on your USB external drive.
If the USB device is a solid-state drive (SSD) and you plan on using it as a
boot partition, for instance by cloning your internal drive such as one would
do using an application such as Super-Duper, then the drive must be formatted
APFS.
However, if the USB device is not an SSD, then you may boot from it using the
Extended Journal format.
Again, my assumption is that you intend to clone your internal boot partition;
because when I think of a backup drive, cloning is what comes to mind.
Now some people elect to employ proprietary software techniques for backing up
a drive, for instance using Time Machine. I do not use such methods because,
if something goes wrong, even a little thing, then you could lose some or all
of your data.
To me, the only true reliable backup of any drive is to clone it, bit-for-bit
using good old copy and paste, such is what is done in Super-Duper.
Just my opinion.
Mark
