Compared to CCC?
Authored by: alexmathew on Apr 14, '04 11:46:29AM

How does this compare to Carbon Copy Cloner?
- Can you boot out of the backup like CCC
- If I can boot, how does it handle the files that have changed?

I use CCC and like it - its saved my A*** a few times. However, it has no provision for incremental backups or backups to CD-ROM's etc.

I guess this tool is still a beta but as a non-geek user - it would be nice to know in plain-speak how it works.
Thanks

CCC will only back up to an HFS+ volume.

PsyncX

I found CCC was unusable in 10.3 It would just hang. PsyncX works fine.

You have to have a new version of psync for 10.3. PsyncX installs it.
