!!HOT!! Download Carbon Copy Cloner 3
Josefina Yuzn
Carbon Copy Cloner is an advanced backup and file copying application for macOS. Looking for something better than Time Machine? With just a few clicks you can set up CCC to make hourly or daily backups of your Mac. CCC can build extensive file version history that you can use to restore older versions of files, and files that you might have accidentally deleted. CCC's read-only snapshots also give you excellent protection against malware and ransomware. CCC backups are compatible with Migration Assistant too, so you can use them to migrate data to a new Mac.
Beyond those backup basics, CCC offers extensive auditing and verification. Have you ever wondered what all of that disk activity was? Has some application run amok? The list of files that change in each backup event give you unprecedented insight into what's changing on your Mac each day. Need to copy the entire content of one volume to another? We can do that in just a few clicks. But suppose you're planning to erase the source when you're done migrating data to a new disk? We all trust our hardware, but maybe not that much! CCC can reverify files that were copied, so you can be 100% certain that your files are safely stored on the new destination.
Chris Coyier is my name and I live in Bend, Oregon with my family. I like to put it down here in the footer so you have an easy place to copy and paste it from when you're writing flattering things about me.
I just picked up a windows laptop and often use CCC on my OSX machines to create duplicate backups of external hard drives or copy over select files from my RAID array to an external drive. What windows based solutions offer this? I find a lot of "backup disk imaging" solutions aimed at copying an entire boot drive, but I'd prefer more flexibility in selecting which files and folders get backed up.
Just to make sure we're on the same page here: your options are to either backup your Dropbox folder and migrate it to the new device, or use the website? Or do you wish to simply copy over the folder using Carbon Copy Cloner backup?
Use Clonezilla and make a 100% bootable copy of your drive! It works and can even handle OSX HFS+ volumes, ext4, NTFS etc. Also, it will handle Grub wery well even if the PC is dual boot (e.g. Windows and Linux).
Hi stephanstricker, when I'm right then you have to CREATE a new volume not only to ADD an existing one. Create a new volume with another name, open it and copy all of your decrypted files in it. After that you may delete the old one.
i prefer to mirror my mac, so... no extra files. if i delete something, it's gone forever. for me, that works, always has. for others, they want older files, older versions of things (i DO archive a lot of work; my brain just can't handle everything being saved ). i use carbon copy cloner for that (and no time machine).
The carbon copies are take are just piece of mind, in truth the only time I'd use them is if I migrated to a new hdd Or had to get a system up and running within the hour. Cause they're outdated the minute you take them vs an incremental system.
If you boot to MacOS recovery ( -gb/HT203981), there is an automated process which will install MacOS fresh AND use your time machine to re-populate/restore data and settings. Which effectively gives you a similar end result to restore a CCC snapshot. A CCC restore is far quicker and 1:1 copy though.
Is there a way that I may use Carbon Copy Cloner (or some other method) to maintain originals of all of these iCloud files on my laptop so my complete copy of files exists there, exists on iCloud, exists on my Carbon Copy Cloner back up, and is available for utilization with my iPhone iPad, and other devices, which do not have large drives so they can grab them as needed?
The only limitation you need to be aware of is that each file needs to be unique. So media files should not exist twice in different folders on the same or different drives on the same system while media composer is running. So after you copy you either need to remove the original drive and keep the drive with the copies or you keep the original drive and remove the one with the copies.
