This does not yet seem to work on a freshly installed 10.4.8 system on a MacBook Pro (in combination with the required adapted psync app). Correct me if I am wrong.

Good utility. Sadly gives me an "AppleScript Exception" error when trying to back up my Powerbook running 10.4.8.

This new version (3.0b4) is Universal Binary.

This is still not yet ready for primetime. There are some problems with mounting and unmounting of devices or with device id missmatch, although the id is ok. It's still pretty slow and looks like some more work has to be done to get it ready. But looks promising

Warning, if you are considering using this application, beware of two things:

1) There is a list of caveats that the support folks suggest to follow, but you don't see until you go looking for them in the right places. In other words, if you just go ahead and clone following the basic directions, and then discover you have a problem, and then search for answers, you will be "treated" to a list of things you should have known you should have known before doing anything so stupid as to try to use Carbon Copy Clone.

2) In the support forums, if you ask any stupid questions, or have other problems that display your ignorance, you will be treated to the tag-team of "Andreas" and "Baltwo" who seem to think treating dumb users by expressing and displaying the mentality of a pair of WWE (used to be WWF) performers, including encouraging the same rude behavior from the audience, is the best way to deal with some users. Real "Pros" they are; kinda sorta like those other "Pros".

Consider SuperDuper.

Very handy, became indispensible when my Powerbook HD started to die. I had a carbon copy on my Firewire drive, and was able to boot right backup and get back to work.

I used this product for about two years with great success. Then, when Bombich failed to keep CCC updated with Leopard, I switched to SuperDuper, which is what I use now. CCC is a great product, and it appears to be tested now with Leopard, but I've had great success with SuperDuper and will be sticking with it for the foreseeable future.

I used to suggest this app to everyone who'd listen, I even gave them money :)

Sadly with Leopard it has ceased working, giving be a not too helpful error -51. A visit to the forums was of little help, suggesting I erase my backup and clone again . . which then left me without a backup at all :/ And I'd mirror the impression that dancingbrook said about Andreas's help.
