Carbon Copy Cloner 3.1.2

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.

What’s New in this Version:Version 3.1.2:* Resolved an issue with the syncronization engine that caused Incremental backups to fail in some cases.* The "Backup everything" cloning method now properly handles inherited ACLs.* The "Backup everything" cloning method is now 25% faster during a file-level copy. It consumes far lass time when backing up to an existing backup.* Fixed a bug in which creation dates of modified files were not properly preserved on PowerPC-based Macs when using the Incremental backup method.* I now provide more insight into how to resolve an error message caused by trying to replace an item on the backup volume that is of a different type than the item on the source volume.* Pre and post-clone script output is now directed to the CCC.log file. CCC also aborts more gracefully when pre-clone scripts exit with a non-zero exit status.* The Stop button in the cloning progress panel no longer has focus. Users that press the space bar to wake a dimmed display will be pleased that this action no longer aborts a backup operation.* Fixed an issue in which CCC relied solely on the HFS+ volume UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) for identification, which, in rare cases, led to CCC trying to clone a volume to itself.* Reformatted the Help content for easier printing. The entire set of documentation can be printed from any page in the documentation. Documentation also now opens in your favorite web browser.System Requirements:Mac OS X 10.4.8 or later.
