Carbon Copy Cloner

I always run CCC before I do any kind of OS X software update just in case things get screwed up. I've tried booting the duplicate occasionally and it always seems to work fine.
 
I just used it to migrate a boot partition to a new drive. Copied from my 320gig to my new 1tb. Worked flawlessly. And copies the bootdrive, even when booted from it.
 
I used it to copy my HD to a new SSD. Worked great, booted right up when I swapped the drives.

What's nice is that if you install a drive, it will remind you that the clone is not bootable if reads an MBR partition table. I had forgotten to go into disk util and recreate as GUID, so it saved me from an issue there.
 
best thing (to me) is you can de-select folders and/or files on the source drive to exclude them.

for example, to include only specific user folder(s), or none.
 
CCC is an excellent program. i use it for cloning when i upgrade my hard drive, and it's always worked flawlessly.
 
What is the advantage of CCC over Super Duper? I am getting ready to upgrade my MBP's hard drive and will need to clone existing disk. Super Duper always worked nicely for me in the past.

For just cloning, I think that they are about equal. SuperDuper does incrementals which I don't think CCC does, but CCC does something else that SD won't do unless you pay for it.
