![]() This is another favorite backup app of mine. SuperDuper! is an inexpensive, powerful, and easy-to-use backup solution. The user interface makes even complex tasks easy to set up, although it may take novice users a bit of time to figure them out.įinally, if you’re in the middle of a backup and need to use all the resources of your Mac for some other purpose like rendering a video, you can pause a backup and resume later.Ī free 30-day trial of Carbon Copy Cloner is available, and a full license-for your entire household-is only $39.99. It can create Time Machine-like snapshots, and it’s also very speedy in completing backups due to a completely rewritten file copier. You can set up almost any automation or schedule you wish and get notified when tasks are done. Probably the best thing about Carbon Copy Cloner is its flexibility. I just booted from my clone, and then created a “recovery task” to restore all of the information back to my Mac. CCC’s clones saved me from a lot of work every time. As an Apple blogger, I spend a great deal of time experimenting with beta software, and on occasion I’ve completely wiped out my internal storage. This is my personal favorite backup app, and it has saved me several times. The app has been updated constantly as macOS has evolved, adding features that surpass Apple’s own Time Machine utility. ![]() The first third-party app we’ll look at is Carbon Copy Cloner 6 (CCC) from Bombich Software, a powerful and respected Mac backup utility. Thank you for simplifying the process of backing up my iMac.Carbon Copy Cloner’s user interface is clean and easy to use. I truly appreciate all of the hard work you've put into developing this valuable utility. I had my backup setup and scheduled in about 15 minutes and I didn't even need the Help file.Ĭan you do it on a Mac? Yeah, but how? Install third party apps to work with Time Machine? Or run scripts using Terminal? Uuuuuuhhh. It's a piece of cake to do that on a Windows PC using a batch file and the Task Scheduler, but even that is not as simple as the ChronoSync process. I just wanted to be able to select the files I want to back up and then schedule the process at a time of my choosing, which can't easily be done on a Mac. ![]() I've only been using it for a few days and feel I've got my money's worth out of it already. This software is awesome easy to use, doesn't bog down my iMac (like Time Machine used to), it's just a rock solid product in my opinion. I downloaded the trial version of ChronoSync a couple of days ago and I didn't need the 15 day evaluation period to make my decision. Fixed a bug in the Backup Multiple Folders assistant that could lead to a crash if the assistant failed to create any destination folders that it was asked to create.Fixed some cosmetic problems on the last panel of several Assistants when running on macOS Ventura.Fixed some UI problems on the Options/Archive Settings panel whereby some custom archive location controls weren’t being disabled when archiving was disabled.Fixed a bug whereby a Readiness Error would prevent synchronization if a previously established custom archive location was not available, even if sync settings had been changed so that no archiving was being performed.Fixed some localization problems in the Bootable and Data Volume assistants that were claiming volumes need to be HFS+ formatted.Fixed a problem that could could cause changes to a volume’s “Ignore Ownership” setting to fail.Fixed a bug that could cause unreported failures when attempting to change an archive’s location to a volume with a different “Ignore Ownership” state.Hardened the AWS S3 Storage Provider to better deal with lost connections in the middle of a file transfer.Added logic to ensure that some maintenance on a remote sync target connection is only performed in the main thread, in an attempt to eliminate an obscure crash.Changed the way lost agent connections are dealt with when multiple copy threads are active, in an effort to increase stability.Added a Readiness Error to prevent bootable synchronizations over ChronoAgent connections when running macOS 11 or later on the destination. ![]() ![]()
