If you know me, I love free software like this. I really do enjoy the feeling of downloading a new program, making great use of it, and then letting people know about my experience. This is the case here.

Carbon Copy Cloner

, which I originally read about in Mac | Life, is a fantastic application for backing up, or in better words, making an exact clone of your computer, and it does that perfectly. The very straight-forward interface, and speedy process, is what makes this program such a delight to use.

Simply open it up, select your Source Disk (normally Macintosh HD), and then your Target Disk (your external hard drive), and click Clone! Easy-peasy-japaneseea (don’t mind me and my useless phrases).

Then the process normally takes about 2-4 hours (depending on how much is being backed up). But another great feature about it, is that you can also make a schedule for backing up, and select certain files from the source disk.

Simply put, this program is very powerful, helpful, and remarkably simple to use. 5 stars all the way, along with a definite 9/10 all the way.
