Mike Bombich’s Carbon Copy Cloner is one of those “must have” programs for the Mac, allowing you to completely clone/backup your hard drives.
Well, version 3.0 is out now with a nice new feature set:
• 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).
• 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.
CCC is a Universal binary, which means it’s for both Power PC Macs and Intel Macs. The program is donation-ware, so Bombich has a tip cup if you find CCC useful.
