MimMac 1.8.7 (Mac OS X)

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT  

I tried this product last year, bought a license, and thought it would meet me needs for a simple clone utility. 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.
