Product Description:

SubRosaSoft CopyCatX is an extremely fast and easy-to-use utility for duplicating an OSX drive and is perfect for the someone who wants to upgrade to a bigger drive, or a systems administrator who needs to deploy multiple drives with identical content.

CopyCatX utilizes a method called "device-to-device copying" instead of the more common "file-by-file" copy employed by most backup software. Using device copy enables you to retain every detail of the original drive, from bootablity to the icon locations. Device copy is also a lot faster than the traditional file-by-file backup.

What's new in this version:

Fixed a problem that was stopping installation on some computers. This bug was causing the list of source drives to be selectable but you could not select a destination disk(s).
Added more labels to make it more clear which list is the source disks, and which list is the destination disks.

Operating System Requirements:

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

Mac OS X 10.3
Mac OS X 10.2

Additional Requirements:

Mac OS X 10.2 or higher

I needed to duplicate my laptop's startup disk and purchased a license of this software to do so. Amazingly, the application has no ability to copy a running boot disk and no provisions to create a boot disk!

When I looked in the user manual to see how to get one, another surprise: One must send a request to have a disk MAILED. That's right, mailed. It's 2008, we all have high speed connections, and rather than offer a boot disk image they MAIL one to you.

I emailed within (a few wasted) hours of downloading to request a refund. A month's gone by and they didn't even bother to reply.

The story ends happily though. My credit card company is reversing the charges and Carbon Copy Cloaner made a perfect dupe from a running boot disk with perfect results.

It's just so easy! - Version: 4.0, 1/12/2007 06:04AM PST

I had my doubts but this application is absolutly idiot proof.

Just click to start, select the action, click to GO. Just the way a Mac application should be.

It cloned a 160 GB Hard drive in less then half an hour.

I've tried SuperD and CarbonC but I ended up with coasters in that the drives would not boot. Had to completely reinstall. I guess you have to be a bit geeky to use those two programmes.

I fully recommend this programme.
