Carbon Copy Cloner Publisher Description
Carbon Copy Cloner... In its simplest form, CCC will clone one hard drive to another, copying every single block or file to create an exact replica of your source hard drive. This is very useful if, for example, your laptop is damaged and you must send it in for repair.
CCC can also be used to perform regular backups of your data. When you select a source disk in CCC, you are presented with the contents of that disk (hidden items too). Simply uncheck the items that you do not want to backup, and CCC will provide ample indication what will and will not be copied. Select a target disk to which you would like to backup, then press the clone button.
The key to a successful backup plan is to actually do the backups regularly. 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 includes that functionality, and takes it even further.
OS: PPC/Intel
Requirements: Mac OS 10.4.8 or later.
Whats new:
Version 3.0b5:

Resolved an issue with the "Check for updates now" button returning an error suggesting that you are not connected to the Internet.
Resolved an issue where a message indicating that CCC had trouble enabling permissions on the target volume appeared even if permissions were already enabled on the target volume.
Resolved an issue in which a backup done with the "Copy selected files" option would incorrectly modify the creation date or modification date of certain files.
Resolved an issue where resource forks and other extended attributes would be copied indiscriminately every time a "Copy selected files" task was run, even if those items already existed on the target and had not changed.
Fixed a cosmetic issue related to resizing the Scheduled Tasks window.
The background tools included with CCC are now built Universal.
Resolved an issue where repeating a disk-to-disk clone would fail indicating that you must choose a source and despite that a source and target are already selected.
Imposed a debug log file size limit.
The clone description is no longer updated during the clone (caused unnecessary panic among some people).
CCC now properly prevents the unmounting of a source or target disk during a clone.
Resolved a minor cosmetic issue related to deselecting items in the items to be copied table.
Support for "incremental" backups -- modified and deleted files are saved to a time-stamped directory on the target.
Included preliminary localizations for French, Japanese, Spanish, and Swedish.
Support for checksumming a "Copy selected files" operation for users running 10.4.9 (when that is available).
CCC prevents a source or target volume from being unmounted during a clone.
A custom build of rsync is now included with CCC that resolves several bugs listed above.
