Carbon Copy Cloner 3.3.6 - Easy-to-use backup/cloning utility. (Free)

Carbon Copy Cloner 3.3.6 - Easy-to-use backup/cloning utility. (Free): "

Carbon Copy Cloner 3.3.6

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 3.3.6:

• Fixed an issue in which CCC would report errors such as 'malloc: *** error for object 0x811000: pointer being freed was not allocated'.
  
• The contents of /Volumes are now excluded by both cloning methods by default. This resolves an issue in which mounted NTFS volumes would cause CCC to report problems copying that volume's mountpoint folder.

NFS Manager 3.5 - For easy access to the NFS features of OS X. (Shareware)

NFS Manager 3.5 - For easy access to the NFS features of OS X. (Shareware): "

NFS Manager 3.5

NFSManager is a small tool for easy access to the NFS features of Mac OS X. As an operating system with a Unix core, Mac OS X is able to support the Network File System (NFS) protocol according to internet specification RFC 1094. NFS is the accepted industry standard for sharing files between Unix systems.

Although NFS is a built-in component of Mac OS X, users cannot access this feature without special knowledge and use of the command-line. NFSManager solves this problem by providing an easy-to-use Aqua interface for the definition of NFS connections.

WHAT'S NEW

Version 3.5:

• Added a new option for NFS mounts on Snow Leopard to enforce display of the mounts in the Finder. This can be used as a workaround for the undocumented policy of Apple\'s automounter to always hide NFS automounts in Mac OS X 10.6.
  
• The user interface and the reference manual now better differentiate between NFS browsing policies in the original NFS implementation by SUN, and NFS browsing as implemented by Apple.
  
• The program now saves the previous NFS share definition to a backup file when repairing the NFS server setup by cleaning the configuration.
  
• This version updates the security component to perform privileged configuration tasks.
  
• Corrected a problem where an active ‘deadtimeout’ mount option did not become visible when displaying the current automount setup.
  
• Corrected a problem where blanks at certain positions in the NFS configuration file could cause NFS Manager to ignore specific or all NFS settings of the local computer.
