Is there a tech support yet or do they still send you to that stupid forum where they send all the people who have problems. Then you spend weeks on there hoping one of the other poor saps found a fix.

They have no tech support unless that has changed. If it's still that forum then they have ZERO support.

The best thing I ever did was trash this and bought SuperDuper. Which is a finished stable application and has been before they even started making this app.

SuperDuper's support is awesome. You send an email and get a reply right away and they will hold your hand and walk you through it if need be.

But it's Soooooo easy to use, there are no way of screwing up and you get a perfect defragged bootable clone.

Sorry you had that experience. Bombich has been nothing but helpful to us and his apps have been around I believe before SuperDuper.. I remember doing some systems testing a long while back and using CCC to revert to saved versions of my HD. Its far more polished now and just as useful and well maintained. No bad reports here.

Unfortunately, I have got a bad experience with CCC 3.01. This is something which never happened before. Have you noticed that a full "clone" is smaller than the original? The possible reason is that the exchange folder space is not copied with its attribution. On the clone, I was almost unable to open a Word document. The answer was that I should check the space on my disk (150 Go were free) and that memory was almost saturated. Tha activity monitor showed that....the exchange space was zero! Of course, it was not the case in the original. A clone made with apple diskutility worked perfectly, with an exchange folder space.
