"clean, fast, dependable"
Version: Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.4
Pros
Totally accurate copy of the whole system, bootable & everything. Options to archive changed files in subsequent operations; to automatically "prune" to a user-specified maximum size; to not delete other root items (not on source); very clean understandable interface. Can also set to run automatically at specified intervals.
Cons
None I can think of.
Summary
Good, fast backup utility which, unlike time-machine, produces an exact, readable and bootable, copy.

"Best backup Software ever!"
Version: Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.4
Pros
Easily clones your hard drive to and external drive which is bootable.
Best feature is that the cloning can run in the background. Typically I run CC about 10 minutes before I am finished using the computer each day. Works like a charm; I can continue working while CC back up my hard drive.Cons
I don't know of anything I dislike about the program.
Summary
I recommend everybody use CC. If I have a problem with my hard drive I can boot into my CC clone on an external HD and repair it (much easier than booting off the CD). If I need to reformat my main HD and re-install the OS ad all files CC's cloned backup is the way to go.
Time machine is the way to go when you encounter a problem with a file or a program and need to replace the file or program Time Machine makes it easy to replace the file or program and even revert to an earlier version.
I recommend both CC and Time Machine for backups. CC is best when a HD needs repairing since you can boot off the CC clone and either repair the disk with disk utility and if disk utility cannot repair the disk use the CC and the external OS clone to reinstall all your files on your main disk.
Time Machine is best when one file/folder/program is corrupted or for some reason is not functioning. Time Machine makes it easy to go back to an earlier verson which will work. -
"Best backup software"
Version: Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.4
Pros
Accurate, fast and reliable
Cons
None- except the update has turned the CCC icon invisible in the Applications folder.
Summary
Tried others, but love CCC. It's easy and it does what it says it does, without fuss or error. I don't know what the recommended shareware payment is, but it's not enough.
