Carbon Copy Cloner Carbon Copy Cloner is pretty much standing alone for hard drive cloning of Mac. It is because of the legacy, ease of use and many pointers & hints to guide you through the process of cloning. You can easily arrange your tasks in the tool ranging from Bootable backup, RAID backup, scheduled backup, etc. Carbon Cloner Copy is nothing but a bootable backup solution for Mac. It acts as a savior in case of any issue prevailed on your operating system. With ordinary backups, you can never get your work done quickly. In this blog post today, we are going to discuss Carbon Copy Cloner for Mac, its features, and how to use it.

1. Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) is a Mac OS X application that can be used for creating file backups, complete images of your computer, or for cloning hard drives. In Carbon Copy Cloner, you can backup either a whole drive or part of the drive to an external hard drive at a scheduled time of your choosing (hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, etc.).
2. Carbon Copy Cloner then informed me that for future connections to this remote Mac it will use Public Key Authentication (PKA) and asked my permission to install my public key over on the remote Mac. Very secure, very modern and awesome.

SuperDuper! 3.3.1 is not yet fully Big Sur compatible.

However, a workaround is now available: see the Shirt Pocket blog for information.

Carbon Copy Mac Os

Have no fear. SuperDuper v3.3.1 is here, and it includes full Catalina support!

SuperDuper is the wildly acclaimed program that makes recovery painless, because it makes creating a fully bootable backup painless. Its incredibly clear, friendly interface is understandable, easy to use, and SuperDuper's built-in scheduler makes it trivial to back up automatically. It's the perfect complement to Time Machine, allowing you to store a bootable backup alongside your Time Machine volume—and it runs beautifully on your Mac!

Version 3.3.1 lets you ignore 'missing drive' errors during scheduled copies, and also improves Smart Wake, which ensures your backups happen whether your Mac is awake or asleep...and won't turn on your screen if your Mac is already awake.

This new version also improves Smart Delete, an awesome new capability that minimizes the possibility of disk full errors while maintaining safety with no speed penalty, native Notification Center support, a Finder extension to quickly run copies, and other improvements. SuperDuper can even create and copy from snapshots, which means with an APFS backup drive, you can restore today's Smart Update, yesterday's, etc! It's super cool.

SuperDuper's interface confirms all your actions in simple, clear language to ensure that the end result is exactly what you intended. Take a look, and click for additional screen shots!

The SuperDuper! Main Window

We all know that using the Macintosh is usually a trouble-free experience.

Except when it's not. Like when:

• Your hard drive starts making that horrible clicking noise that signals an imminent meltdown
• A momentary lapse of coordination causes your MacBook Pro to take a dirt nap
• The system suddenly fails to boot
• Your most important day-to-day application isn't working with the system update you just applied
• The new driver you just updated is causing your Macintosh to crash
• That lousy software you just tried didn't come with an uninstaller, and scattered files all over your drive
• You need to restore a stable copy of your system, but don't want to lose what you've been working on
• You need to test new versions of the operating system with production data you can't afford to lose

It happens to all of us, eventually. And recovering can be a painful, error-prone, time-wasting experience, if it's even possible at all. Until now.

Carbon copies. And a whole lot more.

SuperDuper is the most advanced, yet easy to use disk copying program available for macOS. It can, of course, make a full backup, or 'clone' — in moments, you can completely duplicate your boot drive to another drive, partition, or image file. In even less time, you can update an existing clone with the latest data: use Smart Update and, minutes later, your backup is completely up to date!

Faster than a speeding bullet – and more accurate!

SuperDuper isn't just the most powerful cloner available: it's incredibly fast, too. Its Smart Update feature evaluates hundreds of thousands of files and directories in just minutes, automatically updating your clone to reflect any changes you've made on the original drive – including custom icons, HFS+ attributes, ownership changes... the works! It can even copy (and Smart Update) Time Machine backup volumes!

Expertise not required.

SuperDuper comes preconfigured, ready to perform all the most common copying and cloning tasks. We've pored over the Apple documentation so you don't have to. Every step of the process carefully follows all Apple recommended policies and procedures.

Whether you're making a full backup to a disk image, using Smart Update to update an existing backup, or making a complex clone to test a software update, the process couldn't be simpler: select the source drive, the destination and the appropriate script. Click Copy Now, and SuperDuper does the rest.

Doveryai no Proveryai.

Most companies would cherry-pick their feedback, and include selected quotes from happy customers. Sure, we could point you to our 4.55 star review from Macworld, ormanyotherraves. We could even point you to our back-to-back 2005 and 2006 Eddy Awards!

But we're not going to do that. Instead, we encourage you to ask some friends, and look for yourself! Here's a simple Google query for 'superduper macintosh review' to get you started.

Clones for experts.

Regular backups aren't always the best way to recover for the risk takers out there who jump on every software update. Unless you take specific steps, fully restoring a backup restores everything on the drive, overwriting both the system and user files. If that's what you want to do, great. But it usually isn't, because everything you've done since the backup would be lost!

With SuperDuper, though, you can easily 'checkpoint' your system with a Sandbox, preserving your computer's critical applications and files while you run on a working, bootable copy. If anything goes wrong, just reboot to the original. When you do, your current Documents, Music, Pictures — even iSync data — are available! You can get back to work immediately!

Clones for industry!

SuperDuper has enough features to satisfy the advanced user, too. Its simple-but-powerful Copy Script feature allows complete control of exactly which files get copied, ignored, even aliased ('soft linked' for the Unix inclined) from one drive to another!

SuperDuper is perfect for software developers, software 'seed' sites, QA testers, even system administrators:

• Developers and Seed Sites
  Need to keep up to date with the most recent weekly build of a new operating system? Use the provided 'Copy with Shared User Files and Applications' script, or create your own. A few clicks later and your clone is ready to upgrade, without unsafe downgrades, or unsupported 'intermediate build' upgrades!
• QA Testers
  Need to regress against a large number of operating system targets, or other types of fixed configurations? Simply save a series of images, and in minutes you can restore them and be ready to test.
• System Administrators
  Need complete control over building a standard image for one, one hundred or one thousand systems? SuperDuper's Copy Scripts make it easy!

Get cloned.

Carbon Copy Mac Catalina

Carbon Copy For The Mac, also known as Carbon Copy Mac (also written variously as CarbonCopy Mac, CarbonCopyMac, Carbon Copy/Mac, etc.), is a remote desktop client for early Macintosh computers, similar to Timbuktu and Timbuktu Remote. Carbon Copy Mac is the Macintosh release in Microcom's Carbon Copy series, which also includes various editions for DOS and Windows on PC. (It is unrelated to the similarly named Carbon Copy Cloner.)

Due to Microcom's licensing requirements, unless you are using the 'Unlimited Users Per Single AppleTalk Network Zone' edition of Carbon Copy Mac (not present here at this time), a unique serial number is required for each computer wishing to connect. Given that the serial number is embedded within the program itself, this means that at least two unique copies are required in order to use Carbon Copy. Carbon Copy Mac can be used over an AppleTalk/LocalTalk network, or via modem.

Two unique copies of the 'Single-User AppleTalk and Serial (Remote)' edition are available from this page (listed by serial number, followed by version number):

DL#1: Serial #: 10105251 (v2.0.3) — imaged from untouched media
DL#2: Serial #: 10101876 (v2.0.1) — imaged from used media

The differences between versions 2.0.3 and 2.0.1 are minor. Changes with v2.0.3 are detailed in the included Read Me file with that copy. (It's unclear if there was a v2.0.2 or not, so the listed changes may be incomplete.)

Installation includes the Carbon Copy desk accessory (available from the Apple Menu), as well as the Carbon Copy extension (or INIT). Also included is a 'detect-only' copy of Virex (either v3.51cc or v3.1.1cc, respectively), which is automatically placed in the System Folder upon installation. It cannot remove viruses, but it can detect them, as well as prevent infection from occurring.

Carbon Copy Mac v2.0.x adds compatibility with Apple's System 7, but is also backwards compatible with the earlier Carbon Copy Mac v1.0.
