Carbon Copy Cloner дает возможность создать полный или частичный клон вашей системы, перенося её на другой диск или же сохраняя её в виде .dmg (образа диска). В свежих версиях Carbon Copy Cloner, ориентированных на систему Snow Leopard (и новее), поддерживается сжатие в файловой системе HFS+, заметно удобнее стал показ размеров папок и дисков в десятеричной системе, возросла скорость копирования, а также игнорируются базы данных Time Machine, если они уже созданы.
Майк Бомбич (Mike Bombich), создатель этой замечательной программы, в интервью популярному американскому сайту особо отметил «изюминки» своего детища: быстроту процесса клонирования, возможность выборочного переноса данных и дополнительную защиту от случайных действий в виде специального списка всех возможных дисков-кандидатов с запросом их ID (Уникальный идентификатор).
Carbon Copy Cloner может сильно пригодиться при апгрейде системного диска и замене его на более емкий. Достаточно перенести заранее отклонированную систему на новый диск.

Note for users updating from CCC 3.5.2 or later
If the scheduled tasks window does not close during the update process, click the "Don't Save" button when prompted. Don't worry — your scheduled tasks will be retained and will load just fine when you open the updated version of CCC.
If the download completes but the "Installing update" window remains on screen for more than a few seconds, simply choose "Quit Carbon Copy Cloner" from the Carbon Copy Cloner applicaiton menu. The updated version of CCC will then relaunch immediately.
Both of these problems are entirely cosmetic, there shouldn't be any problems with the updated version or your scheduled tasks.

Addressed an issue in which CCC would occasionally report errors such as "Could not find xattr #1" or "Missing abbreviated xattr", most commonly when archiving items in the Google Chrome application support directory.

CCC now removes its temporary private mountpoint folders used to mount and inspect Recovery HD volumes. Leaving these "stale" mountpoints in place was occasionally exposing a bug in the Finder in which it would report an error -43, "Some items could not be found" when trying to move items to the Trash. Relaunching Finder works around the bug, but cleaning up the stale mountpoints will avoid it.

Fixed an issue in which a scheduled task configured to run weekly, on "no days of the week" could be re-enabled without specifying a day to run the task.

The "Backup everything" filter was showing up twice for non-English localizations.

Disabling "Documents and Data" syncing in the iCloud Preference Pane causes your ~/Library/Mobile Documents folder to be renamed to Mobile Documents.12345678 (the number varies). The iCloud Preference Pane reports that the items in this folder will be deleted. In fact, the items are not deleted, though they are rendered unreadable as long as the "Documents and Data" setting remains disabled. The unreadable documents in this folder generate unnecessary errors in CCC backup tasks, so the contents of this folder will now be excluded by default. This exclusion only applies when the "Documents and Data" syncing is disabled.

CCC handles memory more efficiently now when numerous errors are encountered.

Added special handling for the "SANDS" filesystem from Tiger Engineering.

In some situations, the OS was sleeping before CCC finished sending an email notification. When this occurred, CCC was occasionally unable to complete sending the email when the system awoke (e.g. because the network wasn't yet available). CCC will now retain its idle sleep assertion long enough to complete sending the email notification.

CCC is now more conservative about starting a scheduled task if the system might be entering a sleep state. If the lid of your laptop is closed, for example, and your scheduled task is configured to wake the system to run the task, the system may forcibly go back to sleep between 10-30 seconds after waking. Previously, CCC might have been able to start a task in that window of time. This version avoids starting a task in those situations to avoid Dark Wake cycles (periods of sleep and wake in which network and disk connectivity are constantly in flux).

NFS volumes in which the root user is mapped to the root user (vs. root mapped to nobody) are no longer unmounted at the end of a scheduled task involving the NFS volume.

Если у вас установлена предыдущая версия, то лучше удалить его с помощью программ типа CleanMyMac, прежде чем установить эту версию.
