Scan & Fix 50 registry issues FREECNET Editors' review
Carbon Copy Cloner is a simple, donation-ware utility for cloning entire drives, performing incremental backups, and scheduling ongoing backups. This app has a long track record as one of the most useful and reliable disk utilities available, and its interface and features (especially for scheduling) have only gotten better. Its also kept up with the Mac OS, adding support for HFS+ filesystem compression. Other recent updates have integrated support and documentation into the app better, speeded up recovery of files from damaged volumes, and ensured that Carbon Copy Cloner excludes the Time Machine database.
Carbon Copy Cloner makes it very easy to quickly clone a hard drive (i.e., duplicate every single file on the drive, even at the block level), or you can indicate which files and folders should be copied--and you can also direct it to only copy files that have changed since the last backup. Carbon Copy Cloner can help you schedule regular backups, too, according to any schedule you set, and it can also work with iPods and remote Macs. Carbon Copy Cloner may have a fairly narrow feature set (for example, you can't back up directly to optical disks), but it provides a lot of well-executed functionality at a low price.
Carbon Copy Cloner - Clone, back up, and synchronize data on Mac OS - Download Video Previews:Publisher's Description
From Mike Bombich:
Carbon Copy Cloner is the key to a successful backup plan. When left to a human, the task often gets tacked on to the end of a very long list of other things to do. When you eventually have a catastrophe, the data is simply gone. You know that feeling -- you just lost six years of family photos. Your kids being born, their first birthdays, their first everything. The answer to this is consistent and regular backups, placed on a schedule and handled automatically by your computer.
CCC 3 features a new interface designed to make the cloning and backup procedure more intuitive and more responsive. Users have better control over what gets backed up, and are provided with detailed information about the progress of their backup. In addition to general backup, CCC can also clone one hard drive to another, copying every single block or file to create an exact replica of your source hard drive. CCC's block-level copy offers the absolute best fidelity in the industry.
What's new in this version:
- Addressed a regression in which the body of email notifications sent by CCC would be cut off by some email servers.
- CCC now prevents a user from choosing a non-writable folder as the destination when the underlying volume is a network volume or another type of volume mounted in "userland".
- Fixed an issue in which CCC would report an error and skip the contents of a folder that had an unreadable extended attribute.
- Made some tweaks to the advice that CCC offe... See all new features

"Forget Time Machine. This does the job even better."
Version: Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.3
Pros
Backs up data. Provides simple or terrific advanced options. Easy retrieval of data.
Cons
None found.
Summary
This full-featured backup application let's you select exactly what to back up, if you want to delete outdated files first to save space on the backup drive, schedule backup tasks, and more. I struggled with Apple's Time Machine on my MacBook Pro, dealing with numerous errors during backup and even during data retrieval. Now I solely use Carbon Copy Cloner!

"A very good disk cloner"
Version: Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.3
Pros
Easily clones a hard drive and if possible making the clone fully bootable. Incremental backups finish quickly on my home computer--typical time to finish an incremental backup is 5 to 8 minutes.
CCC has been a godsend. A few months ago I had a disk error the Apple Disk Utility was unable to fix. I was able to use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the backup copy of my primary hard disk. Within 45 minutes my Primary Hard Drive was restored. It would have taken less time to perform the restore if my back up Hard Drive was not USB based.
IMHO Time Machine is better for restoring a lost or corrupt single file or program. CCC is better when it is necessary to restore an entire drive (due to drive corruption). TM and CCC together comprise my backup stategy. I either TM's or CCC's back up copy happens to be corrupt I have a second back up to use. Just make sure that if you perform both a CCC and a TM backup you use two seperate Hard Drives just in case the entire backup Hard Drive fails.Cons
CCC is a very good program so I cannot think of any cons (base on how I use the program.
Summary
If you are looking for a Hard Drive cloning program consider CCC. I cna even set CCC to perform its cloning in the background. At the end of the each day I set CCC to perform a backup and launch Klondike Forever and by the time I have won a game of solitaire CCC has finished the day's backup.

"Covers all your files."
Version: Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.3
Pros
It backs up and synchronise it all..
Cons
It assumes that you are synchronising everything that is on your computer, the disk, but syncs only your "home" folders when working with NTFS or FAT device. With GB of music and rich media on the same laptop as work and private documents the systems CCC provides a functionality seldom needed.
