It's down right foolish to trust Carbon Copy Cloner. SuperDuper and BootCD is the only thing I trust. CCC has NO support at all, and has bugs up the wazoo. Everyone is trying to make a backup app, all but one can be trusted. I haven't tried this, but the reviews would have to be at least 4.5 stars before I would even think of it. The safest way to clone a HD is to use the Apple disk utilities. It's free, it's Apple, and it's right there waiting for you. If you have some smarts, you can even make a bootable CD.

Apple's DiskUtility can't clone an entire drive.Learn what you are talking about before embarrassing yourself.

CCC support - sjk
Are you unaware of the Bombich Software Forums? Sure looks like a CCC support resource to me.After using CCC successfully for a couple years I switched to SuperSuper! for several reasons, like its data/metadata copying integrity, Smart Update capability, and responsive GUI while cloning. While not "perfect" (but only at version 1.x), it's the current gold standard which all other OS X cloning utilities are to be compared with, IMO. About the only thing I don't care for is the exclamation point appended to its name, like the apostrophe in Clone'X. :-)
Oh, wait, we're not reviewing CCC or SD! here...

CCC support - Ban_This
I don't do forums idiot.Bombich Software Forums is not support. It's a forum they opened up to send all the people that their software screwed over to help each other, there is no help, just a bunch of lost people. Then the ass that sold the app doesn't even have to deal with people. NO OTHER software maker does this bull.
I don't have time to waste my life on that bullshit.
If I pay money for a "copy" of something. I want support from the freakin guy who wrote the app, not spending weeks shifting through a stupid forum.
Forums and Blogs are for people that have no life, like you.

Sorry I find BootCD hopeless. It takes forever to make the partition and then seems to have problems with what it will let you put on it. I just tried it and after the partition was created it asked me to select what applications I wanted to put on it. I wouldn't let me select The Library or System folder for instance. Am I missing something here.Thursday, May 26 2005 @ 12:14 PM PDT

The Library and System folders aren't applications, nor do they contain any applications that you'd want to extract and place separately somewhere else, which may be why BootCD wouldn't let you select them when it asked which applications you wanted to place onto the CD.Thursday, May 26 2005 @ 04:10 PM PDT

Yes, your missing something. BootCD makes an emergency Boot CD. It lets you put applications in to help fix what ever the problem is that your having on your main drive. It works great for doing that. It does take forever for it to load but it's great to have in a pinch.Thursday, May 26 2005 @ 05:09 PM PDT
BootCD creates a mini-OS - artie505
BootCD creates a bootable CD that is a miniature of the OS X that it is created from; as such, it has its own built-in System, Library, etc.You can put any APPS you want on it, and, as earlier responder said, System and Library are NOT apps.
Mine takes 8-9 minutes to boot, but, dammit, I have something that WILL BOOT when my OS X installation will not.
Your commentary really indicates that you have no idea what BootCD is all about, and I therefore advise you to quit messing with things that are beyond you!

You might want to try reviewing the right application before you trash the developer. This is NOT CCC.Reply to This
