Carbon Copy Cloner is a backup/cloning utility for Mac OS X. Carbon Copy Cloner is considered the most cost-effective, easy-to-use backup solution available for Mac OS X.
Here are some key features of "Carbon Copy Cloner":
· Support for block-level disk-to-disk clones.
· Synchronization built-in, not bolted on.
· Support for backing up across the network to another Macintosh.
· Advanced scheduling capabilities -- Backup tasks can now be scheduled on an hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly basis, or you can indicate that a backup task should run when the backup device is attached (e.g. an iPod). You don`t even need to be logged in for your backups to occur!
· CCC recognizes iPods specifically, allowing time for the iPod:iTunes synchronization to complete.
· The ability to drill down into folders to select exactly what gets copied and what doesn`t (you can drill down indefinitely).
· Built-in software update feature notifies you when updates are available.
Requirements:
· HFS+ formatted partition or hard drive (excluding volumes used for Time Machine).
· Firewire and USB hard drives including iPods.
· CCC will not backup directly to optical media.
· CCC is supported only on machines that officially support Mac OS X Tiger (or higher).
