Product Description:
Clones, backups, and data synchronization made easy.
MimMac is a fast, easy-to-use, and comprehensive backup and cloning utility, designed to make backing up, synchronizing, merging, and cloning your data as painless as possible. With MimMac, there's no need to set up complex scripts, or navigate a bloated interface just to do simple tasks such as running multiple simultaneous operations, or excluding items from your backup operation(s) -- everything is ready at hand in MimMac's straight-forward and compact interface.
Gain control of your data.
With MimMac's myriad of options, filters, exclusions, and mirroring capabilities, you have complete control over exactly what gets backed up, and what doesn't. MimMac also performs incremental backups automatically, thus making your repetitive backups quick and painless. And when coupled with it's ability to check and enable ownership on destination volumes, as well as repair permissions on source volumes, you can be assured that your system clones will not only be bootable, but faithful to the original.
Built from the ground up.
MimMac is not a front-end for any pre-existing command line backup utilities; its backup engine was built from the ground up using Cocoa. As such, MimMac does not depend upon any third-parties in order to do its job.
Powerful, yet affordable.
Suffering the effects of lost data can be a costly venture, but backing up your data shouldn't be. That is why MimMac includes a free 20-day trial, and a full single-machine license is only $10
What's new in this version:
- Added a warning so that MimMac will not automatically cancel a copy operation that's in progress due to an unintended shutdown or quit.
- MimMac now allows file packages to be selected as a source or destination; this is in response to changes that Apple made to the library folder in iPhoto '08.
- Updated the registration engine.
Operating System Requirements:
This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:
- Mac OS X 10.4 Intel
- Mac OS X 10.4 PPC
- Mac OS X 10.3.9
Additional Requirements:
- Mac OS X 10.3.9 or higher

The bottom line is that MimMac totally destroyed by entire hard drive, rendering the data unrecoverable -- even after spending $500 with a data recovery service.
The software author was entirely unresponsive, and offered no counsel or assistance WHATSOEVER. He did not respond to email or attempts at telephone calls.
The software does make bootable clones. That's not in dispute. The problem is that the interface is so poorly designed that it is unclear whether one is restoring to or from a particular drive. There is virtually no error checking to prevent users from catastrophic data loss.
I do not make comments like this cavalierly or in an attempt to harm the developer. I have been an advanced Mac user since 1985, have worked for Apple as a systems engineer, and made a living as a software developer for years.
You'd be much better off with Super Duper.

So yes.... It took me 1 min of effort to contact the developer.... 10 minutes later, I was registered.
Unlike the rant above ....which must have taken 10 times the effort...
And I agree.... with the previous comment.... "lecturing the developer" ...hilarious!!!
MimMac also handles packages well (iPhoto, Aperture generate packages into the hundreds of Gigabytes), treating them as folders so you only have to update the files which have changed not the whole database (minutes instead of days of copying).
MimMac is the only affordable high quality sync tool available on OS X. SuperDuper! is the way to go for volume backup but SuperDuper! doesn't handle folders or partial drives well and won't do two way syncing at all.
MimMac and SuperDuper! are a killer combination though.
I've since bought another license to support the developer's efforts with MimMac, despite our rocky start.
What's even better is the licensing scheme will be changed so that your license will continue to work even if Ascendent Softworks disappears (hopefully not!).
All that's left on my wishlist for MimMac is dry run preview of two-way syncing.
