Product Description:

Clone, synchronize, backup. Schedule and forget it. Try it 'til you trust it.

The key to a successful backup plan is to actually do the backups regularly. When left to a human, the task often gets tacked on to the end of a very long list of other things to do. When you eventually have a catastrophe, the data is simply gone. You know that feeling -- you just lost six years of family photos. Your kids being born, their first birthdays, their first everything. The answer to this is consistent and regular backups, placed on a schedule and handled automatically by your computer.

CCC 3 features a new interface designed to make the cloning and backup procedure more intuitive and more responsive. Users have better control over what gets backed up, and are provided with detailed information about the progress of their backup. In addition to general backup, CCC can also clone one hard drive to another, copying every single block or file to create an exact replica of your source hard drive. CCC's block-level copy offers the absolute best fidelity in the industry!

What's new in this version:

  • Fixed a "divide by zero" error that would cause backup tasks involving very few files to fail at the end.
  • Fixed a bug that would cause CCC and the scheduled task helper application to crash when certain filesystems were mounted.
  • CCC now enables ownership on the target volume regardless of the ownership setting on the source volume. Previously, clones made of Macs in Target Disk Mode would have incorrect ownership information on system files if the target volume did not have ownership enabled.
  • Fixed an issue in which a scheduled task would fail to run properly if the user logged out and then logged back in.
  • Fixed an issue in which a scheduled task would log many errors if the user logged out while the scheduled task was in the middle of a backup.
  • Fixed an issue in which CCC would not run a "Backup everything" scheduled task that used the "Delete items from the target that do not exist on the source" option.
  • Fixed an issue in which a scheduled task that was configured to back up to a disk image would not run if it was set to run "When the target volume is reconnected". These tasks now run properly when the underlying volume is reconnected to your Macintosh, whether it is a local volume or a mounted sharepoint.
  • Fixed an issue in which CCC would report minor errors if a directory disappeared from the source volume in the middle of a backup task.
  • Fixed an issue in which preferences from a very old version of CCC would cause errors while trying to select a source volume.
  • Fixed a memory leak related to files with Access Control Entries.
  • CCC no longer creates the target folder on a remote Macintosh. This enforces the behavior of aborting the backup task if the backup volume is not available, or is not mounted at the expected mountpoint on the remote Macintosh.
  • The CCC.log file is now properly created when CCC is run under a non-admin user account.
  • Minor interface enhancements, specifically around the presentation and content of the "bootability" checks.
  • Minor bug fixes around the creation of encrypted disk images.
  • If you checked the box to display the scheduled task "task finished" panel only when errors occur, this panel will no longer re-present itself after the scheduled task is reloaded on startup. The setting will only be reset when changes are made to the scheduled task's configuration in the Scheduled Tasks window.
  • CCC now saves only modified scheduled tasks when clicking the Save button in the Scheduled Tasks window.
  • Updated the list of items that CCC automatically ignores from a backup set. See the documentation for complete details about this list.
  • Fixed an issue in which Intel systems would be permitted to run portions of CCC using Rosetta, leading to reduced performance and potentially crashing behavior.

Andreas..

Don't download from here. Use CCC’s menu item “Update CCC”. Apart from ensuring that you get the latest version that will also correctly update any schedules or saved tasks that you may have.

Kudos to M. Bombich and colleagues for developing and maintaining CCC.

What makes this work so well is the very design of it, leveraging the power of open source utilities that are focussed on particular tasks, with a continuing understanding of Mac OS X as it evolves, all with very clear documentation in plain language. The result is an application suite that can easily be setup by the average user, yet includes enough flexibility to be deployed in more complex data backup, archiving, and disaster recovery scenarios.

This latest update only several days after the previous one again demonstrates Mr. Bombich's commitment to quality software and his responsiveness to those who use it.
