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.

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.
Affecting the accuracy of the backup task is something else that should be considered. Typically it's OK to work from the source volume while you're copying it, with the understanding that if CCC copied a file, then you open it, make changes, save it, then CCC completes the backup task, the modified version of your document is not backed up (this time around). Typically that's no big deal, the modifications will get backed up the next time the backup task runs. More importantly, though, if you're working with large files (mounted disk image, Entourage email database, VMWare/Parallels container) during the backup operation, it is possible that those large files could be modified while CCC is backing up that file. This won't affect the source file, but there's a good chance that the backup version of that file will be corrupt. For this reason it is a good idea to stop using applications that may be modifying large files.
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).
All you need to do is open a window for the source and destination drives, select all the folders/files for copying, and drag them onto the destination drive (create new folders if needed for organising).
Use tools such as Carbon Copy Cloner, or Super Duper (my preference) for making an identical copy of a drive onto another - if you try to add another source drive using these, it can get messy, and may well overwrite any existing files or folders if you have any with the same names.
Carbon Copy Cloner handles selected items, not just entire disks. I've been using it that way for some time copying a folder on one disk to a folder on another disk. I also use it to copy my entire boot disk to another disk.
You can copy & paste files and folders as well. I hear that this more frequently used among Window users (which sometimes miss acut & paste option in OS X). I personally prefer drag & drop, as I never 'loose sight' of the files and folders I am moving (Macs having been fed and raised on the GUI nature probably is the historical explanation).
But copy and paste should never be used to create a copy of a Mac system drive. The reason is that a system drive has many invisible files and files with restricted permissions. A copy/paste or a drag/drop will not be able to pick up those files and they will be left behind. If those files are deep in the System or Library folders, lacking them could make some applications or parts of OS X simply not work or not boot up on the new disk.
While it is not necessary to use Carbon Copy Cloner to move photo files, I always use it for whole-disk copying anyway. It is fast, it is extremely reliable, it has incremental backup capability so my photo backup drives are only updated with changed files, and it has advanced options for dealing with special situations. SuperDuper! is similar but also very reliable.
I must admit, copy/paste never used to work for file copying in past Mac OS's, so I've never used it myself, even on Windows I prefer opening windows and dragging and dropping. I see it does indeed work now, but I wouldn't want to try it on large amounts of files, or large files.
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?
Don't have a Mac and so I can't give detailed advice. However, people have been using Clonezilla and Mac for many years. It should boot but, as you say, you may have to disable secure boot. There are forums where it is discussed such as: _live/thread/7adf1a14/?limit=25 Opens a new window. You have nothing to loose by trying to boot with Clonezilla on your Mac from a USB stick and if you can do that then you should be able to save the image of the hard drive to an external storage. You can take the Hard Drive out of the Mac and clone it in a cloner if you want.
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.
Issues you may run into is permissions on the newly replicated share since CCC tries to copy over the same permissions and if you're using local accounts on the DPs even with the same name, technically they have different UUIDs thus you may get some permissions errors. You may need to run a script afterwards to reset the permissions on your DP because your read / read-write accounts may technically have different permissions / ACLs. Remember Mike Bombich was thinking of CCC as a backup tool and permissions would be essential to that, I put in a request for him to at least consider putting in a checkbox that says to ignore permissions.
Frankly IMO, although it requires more effort, it is more secure to just copy and paste your files to an external HDD or, better three of them. If you only make one backup then you have one shot at a restore. Then you find that your one backup drive is corrupt! Make two to try to avoid this using drives from two different manufacturers to minimise production batch errors. The third copy is kept offsite or alternatively try cloud backup for that copy even though it does risk some of the above downsides. It doesn't matter how many backups you keep at home they are not proof against fire, flood, or burglary.
