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 3.0 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:

Note for users of the "Backup to a remote Macintosh" feature: This update requires that you recreate the Authentication Credentials Installer package and install it on both your source machine and destination machine(s).

Fixed an issue that caused creating new disk images to fail
Fixed an issue that would cause backup to a remote Macintosh to fail
Fixed an issue that caused "Failed to chown" messages to appear in the log and caused CCC to report that the synchronization engine had failed
Modification times of folders and applications are now properly preserved when using the "Copy everything" cloning method
Fixed an issue in which locked files were not properly deleted (as necessary)
Fixed an issue in which CCC reported that it could not enable ownership on the target volume
Fixed an issue in which CCC errantly reported that it could not archive some items during a "Copy selected items" clone
CCC now explicitly disallows non-HFS volumes (this clears up confusion on what target volumes are supported)
Resolved several localization issues and included localizations for French, Russian, Korean, Swedish, and Dutch

Can't imagine how to do my every day's work without CCC. Every machine in our company was installed with CCC and every complete Backup is done witch CCC. I don't use the scheduler so that's not important for me. I think, in the final version that problem will be solved.

Schedules not working... - Version: 3.3-b5, 9/13/2009 04:17PM PST

Andreas..

The most likely reason for schedules not working after an update is having updated by hand. Use CCC's "Update CCC" menu item - check "Inform me of beta releases" if that's what you want, and click on "Check now". You will be guided to update any schedules correctly for the new version. If you download the new version yourself you should disable existing schedules before updating and then re-enable and save them. Using that menu item is easier! Help is available in the CCC forum.

It seems CCC is now cloning at least 5 times faster than before. :)
But unfortunately I do not get scheduled tasks to run any more. :(
