CC3 provides the option to save deleted/replaced files on the backup drive in a specific folder. CCC allows you great precision in what you back up each time. With TM file vault prevents updating on a file by file basis cause you have to backup the entire encrypted user folder. Time Machine allows me to jump back by the hour. I will probably never switch back as I have grown to like it. I always used Super Duper but since it has not been updated to Leopard I switched to Carbon Copy Cloner.

And a Genius told me that was standard.Īpple Support Forum - SuperDuper! vs. Mac's Backup, which was a disaster: the few times I needed to use my backups, they didn't work. Sep 2007: Most of the Mac360 staff follow the lead of the site's founder, Tera Patricks, and we use a combination of SuperDuper! for cloning, and Chronosync for rapid file synchronizations, You pay more for those features in SuperDuper! SuperDuper! which also clones, but doesn't allow some of the file manipulation or scheduling available in CCC. CCC does a block-level copy of your Mac's hard drive to another hard drive so every file is duplicated. CC3 includes an optimized version of rsync, an open source utility that provides fast incremental file transfer. CCC Ver 3 which came out in early 2008 has fixed the problems and some people prefer it again.

Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) was the leader then had some problems with 10.3 and 10.4 and SuperDuper took over as the favorite. See a strategy using built in rsync below
