Clone X is specially designed to create a copy of your system, to duplicate it on other disks or computers, and to repair and reinstall the system in case of problems (damaged system, errors during installation, etc.)

With Mac OS X, the system is now a very complex construction. It is no longer confined within the OS 9 System folder, but is distributed all around multiple folders, most of them being inaccessible (invisible, protected or permission denied). Moreover, any copy or installation must preserve permissions and ownership of each file.

Does this do anything CarbonCopyCloner doesn't?

No, it does not. Worse, the FREE (if you can’t afford to donate) and constantly updated CarbonCopyCloner has many advanced capabilities (not least among them is scheduled backups) that this does not have, and yet Tri-Edre charges $29 for it!

I've been using CCC for so long! Can't even remember. It never failed. Yes CCC really deserve a donation.

like the way the developer took the time to add a "BOOTCAMP NOT SUPPORTED MESSAGE" instead of implementing a way to actually backup or clone a bootcamp partition!!! hahaha thank GOD i still have my winclone working. winclone is still the ONLY backup utility that actually clones and restores any bootcamp partition. if the developer invested time into making a cloning utility that just clones and restores bootcamp partitions like winlclone,he would make a lot of money since winclone is discontinued and am not sure how much longer we can patch it to keep it working with mac system updates.

Well.... their version of "minimal" system and my version are significantly different. The process begins by copying the -entire- /Library folder ( and not just the "minimal" or Apple-only files.) My own /Library folder is 128 GB... which is hardly "minimal" in my book.

Not a single thing about this massively overpriced junk that cannot be done better with FREE or donateware apps. Stay away.

$49 seems a bit pricey compared to Carbon Copy Cloner which is DonateWare. Maybe Clone X 3.1.1. has some extra special features which CCC does not have... but $49? Yikes :)

BootCD says it does not work with 10.4. This is a better option.

It's not a better option, heck, it's not even an option at $49, especially while the developer of Carbon Copy Cloner 3.2.1 allows us to use it full-featured FOR FREE (just by clicking Help > Donate to Bombich Software > I paid), though if you have any principles, you'll donate at least the recommended $10.

First of all, I am in no way associated with Bombich Software, I just really appreciate that they make an irreplaceable, constantly updated, full-featured backup/cloning app available for free if you really can't afford it. CCC has been one of the most lauded apps available since at least January of 2002 (check the reviews on VersionTracker.com to see them all since the beginning, or to read all the professional reviews just do a Google search on Carbon Copy Cloner). It's not the very BEST backup app available (like most, I prefer SuperDuper! or Synk, but you MUST pay for those), but CCC is by far the very best donationware backup app available, hands down, and it's the ONLY FREE ONE THAT MAKES FULL, BOOTABLE CLONES. And after you've made your fully bootable clone, later you can make quick, incremental backups to it that maintain its bootability and cloniness (to coin a lame term). Oh, did I mention that it is UNHOBBLED DONATIONWARE?

$49 for this? Sorry, I haven't tried it yet. But it would be hard pressed to be superior to applications such as CCC.

You've really got to be kidding.

The author of Clone X (any version) must hold the record for bogus plaudits (praise) planted in this review list!

Thankfully, I lost only two CD-Rs in my attempts to get it to function. Only ONE of the utilities I added (within the Clone X app) actually launched!

Highly irritating to deal with the French language interface when the CD booted!

No Dock; No access to the Desktop; generally hopeless.

BootCD 0.6.4 actually works! Just create the Bootable CD in Panther (OS X 10.3.x): the CD works perfectly in Panther AND Tiger:
I've got DiskWarrior 3.0.3; Drive Genius 1.1; Data Rescue II 1.1.1 and Disk Utility 10.4 all working happily from my bootable CD! AND I have a Dock; Desktop; access to mounted drives can run other apps and more from the bootable CD! Ignore the get-rich-quick Frenchman and his tacky software.

Well I have it at OS X.4.5 with Disk Utility, and it works great. Unfortunately I got the french version, but I can work my way through it = )

Considering the free tools that are out there (Carbon Copy Cloner and BootCD) the author(s) are asking an exorbitant price for their software. They must be hoping that there is a sucker born every minute.

Clone X is specially designed to create a copy of your system, to duplicate it on other disks or computers, and to repair and reinstall the system in case of problems (damaged system, errors during installation, etc.)

With Mac OS X, the system is now a very complex construction. It is no longer confined within the OS 9 System folder, but is distributed all around multiple folders, most of them being inaccessible (invisible, protected or permission denied). Moreover, any copy or installation must preserve permissions and ownership of each file.

Clone your System: Clone'X provide powerfull features to analyze your System (OS X and OS 9), to execute a full copy (a clone) of your System, even if the system was installed and updated many times with the updaters provided by Apple. The clone is saved in an external drive, CD-R as well as a part of your internal disk. The clone is compressed to save disk space, and you can create as many clones as you need.

Repair your System: Starting from this clone, CloneX will be able at any time to repair your system if damaged, or if some data was lost, or an installation has corrupted your System. You'll have your System back to its original state. Repair operation is undoable!

Recreate identical Systems on other disks: With the copy of your original System realized by Clone'X, you can install a similar system on other disks or other computers, preserving your own configuration and settings.
