Carbon Copy Cloner 3.1.3

Carbon Copy Cloner... Clone, synchronize, backup. Schedule and forget it. Try it 'til you trust it.

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

Version 3.1.3:

Fixed an issue in which the target volume would not be bootable in some cases.

Fixed an issue in which a block-level clone would be attempted inappropriately.

Included updated localizations including a complete French localization.

CCC should no longer check for updates if a backup task is running.

CCC now ignores Time Machine backup databases. Time Machine backups will not be backed up (CCC does not support backing up Time Machine backups).

Messages indicating that a scheduled task's target disk has reappeared are now automatically dismissed after 60 seconds allowing the task to run.

Fixed an issue that would prevent the saving of scheduled tasks upon the very first launch of CCC.

CCC no longers permits non-HFS+ volumes as a selectable source volume (in support of the defined system requirements).

Fixed an issue in which files or folders with special characters (e.g. '[', ']', and '*') could not be excluded in an 'Incremental backup of selected items' backup task.

Fixed an issue in which CCC would report a generic error rather then indicating that a backup task failed because there was not enough free space on the target to accommodate large files that had been modified since a previous backup.
