Carbon Copy Cloner is back
#1
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/13260

Product Description:
In its simplest form, CCC will clone one hard drive to another, copying every single block or file to create an exact replica of your source hard drive. This is very useful if, for example, your laptop is damaged and you must send it in for repair.

CCC can also be used to perform regular backups of your data. When you select a source disk in CCC, you are presented with the contents of that disk (hidden items too). Simply uncheck the items that you do not want to backup, and CCC will provide ample indication what will and will not be copied. Select a target disk to which you would like to backup, then press the clone button.

The key to a successful backup plan is to actually do the backups regularly. When left to a human, the task often gets tacked on to the end of a very long list of other things to do. When you eventually have a catastrophe, the data is simply gone. You know that feeling -- you just lost six years of family photos. Your kids being born, their first birthdays, their first everything. The answer to this is consistent and regular backups, placed on a schedule and handled automatically by your computer. CCC includes that functionality, and takes it even further.


What's new in this version:
•• Support for block-level disk-to-disk clones.
Support for backing up across the network.
•• The ability to drill down into folders to select exactly what gets copied and what doesn't (you can drill down indefinitely).
•• A more responsive interface and the ability to stop the clone.
•• More accurate feedback during the clone.
•• The ability to pick up where a previously aborted backup task left off.
•• More information about your disks are available within the CCC interface.
•• Advanced scheduling capabilities -- choose what days to run your backups and how frequently they should run. You can also defer a backup if it starts at an inopportune time.
•• Now you can create a scheduled task that backs up your data whenever you attach a specific hard drive or iPod

BETA... YMMV.

CCC is nice but I wouldn't trust my backups to any BETA software.

Yeah, and after last night's debacle with CCC, so do I! I also dig how it preserves ACLs; I moved our shared iTunes library to a new hard disk and I didn't have to enable ACLs for it.
