Publisher's description of Carbon Copy Cloner 2.3

From Mike Bombich:

Have you ever wanted a simple, complete, bootable backup of your hard drive? Have you ever wanted to upgrade to a larger hard drive with minimal hassle and without reinstalling your OS and all of your applications? Have you ever wanted to move your entire Mac OS X installation to a new computer? Then CCC is the tool for you! CCC makes these tasks simple by harnessing the Unix power built into Mac OS X.

Version 2.3 can now use disks with custom mount points (like disks that are not mounted at /Volumes) and fixes a bug with NetBoot image creation in which the capacity of the image was allowed to exceed 50GB (which causes NetBoot to fail without an appropriate error message).

Version: Carbon Copy Cloner 2.3

"Programs of this sort are relatively unnecessary"

by ossaorg on September 30, 2006

Pros: Just make a copy of your hard disc in disk utility; then also using disk utility simply Restore onto your new HD...even easier connect new drive to your computer using USB or Firewire and using disk utility, restore old HD onto new HD

Cons: Never could successfully build a bootable CD

Version: Carbon Copy Cloner 2.3

"Not a good idea"

by dancingbrook on June 18, 2007

Cons: Warning, if you are considering using this application, beware of two things:
1) There is a list of caveats that the support folks suggest to follow, but you don't see until you go looking for them in the right places. In other words, if you just go ahead and clone following the basic directions, and then discover you have a problem, and then search for answers, you will be "treated" to a list of things you should have known you should have known before doing anything so stupid as to try to use Carbon Copy Clone.
2) In the support forums, if you ask any stupid questions, or have other problems that display your ignorance, you will be treated to the tag-team of "Andreas" and "Baltwo" who seem to think treating dumb users by expressing and displaying the mentality of a pair of WWE (used to be WWF) performers, including encouraging the same rude behavior from the audience, is the best way to deal with some users. Real "Pros" they are; kinda sorta like those other "Pros".
Consider SuperDuper.
