Carbon Copy Cloner is a backup/cloning utility for Mac OS X. This version adds many new exciting features such as synchronization, scheduled tasks, creating disk images on the fly, and creating NetBoot and Apple Software Restore-prepared image sets from fully customized installations of Mac OS X. CCC is the most cost-effective, easy-to-use backup solution available for Mac OS X.

Supported configurations:

Local (i.e., not over a network connection), HFS+ formatted partition or hard drive.
Mounted disk image. Cloning to a disk image will (obviously), not yield a bootable volume unless you use CCC to restore the image to a physical partition or disk.
Firewire disks including iPods
CCC will not backup directly to CDs or DVD-R discs, though you can backup to an appropriately sized disk image, then burn the image to disc with Toast or Disk Copy.
Any machine that supports Mac OS X (officially).

Requirements:
BSD subsystem installed (which is installed by default).
