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:

  • Resolved interface issues with non-English localizations.
  • Resolved an issue in which, in some circumstances, rsync was unable to create a directory if the parent directory was locked.
  • Addressed a codesigning issue that would prevent CCC from launching in some cases on Mac OS X Tiger.
  • Resolved an issue in which the Authentication Credentials installer package would not install on certain installations of Mac OS X Tiger.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.5 Intel
  • Mac OS X 10.5 PPC
  • Mac OS X 10.4 Intel
  • Mac OS X 10.4 PPC

Carbon Copy Cloner Commentarywow... what on earth went wrong? - Version: 3.2.1, 6/15/2009 06:20PM PST

I've read nothing but glowing reviews of CCC, and very much wanted to love it, too. My primary HD started getting hinky, and no disk utility seemed able to solve the problem. So.... I used CCC first to create a bootable disk image (took 6 hours), then used an external FW drive and backed everything on to that. Then, erased the startup drive, re-formatted it and re-partitioned.

Launched CCC, and the disk image "fails to mount due to....". OK, went to backup the backup from the external FW drive, and CCC tells me it cannot create a bootable disk due to missing critical files - or something.

So, I'm hanging out to dry. Should have known better than to try this on primary drive. Am reinstalling OS X from scratch, and praying - hoping against hope - I can get the needed data off of the FW drive once a working startup volume is mounted on there.

Does exactly what you need, in a nice simple, well thought out user interface and at a nice(!) price.

I've relied on Carbon Copy Cloner for years to make bootable clones of my boot drives. Never ever had a problem.

Highly recommended!

I have been using this software for years and it does the job perfectly every time.

My only wish is that it were included with Mac OS X. Why doesn't Apple have this feature in Disk Copy?
