Bombich Software today announced the release of Carbon Copy Cloner 3.1.3, a new version of their popular backup and cloning utility for Mac OS X. According to the developer, this release fixes a number of issues with Carbon Copy Cloner 3.1.2. This includes the following:

- Fixed an issue in which the target volume would not be bootable in some cases.

- Fixed an issue in which a block-level clone would be attempted inappropriately.

- Included updated localizations including a complete French localization.

- CCC should no longer check for updates if a backup task is running.

- CCC now ignores Time Machine backup databases. Time Machine backups will not be backed up (CCC does not support backing up Time Machine backups).

- Messages indicating that a scheduled task's target disk has reappeared are now automatically dismissed after 60 seconds allowing the task to run.

- Fixed an issue that would prevent the saving of scheduled tasks upon the very first launch of CCC.

- CCC no longer permits non-HFS+ volumes as a selectable source volume (in support of the defined system requirements).

- Fixed an issue in which files or folders with special characters (e.g. "[", "]", and "*") could not be excluded in an "Incremental backup of selected items" backup task.

- Fixed an issue in which CCC would report a generic error rather then indicating that a backup task failed because there was not enough free space on the target to accommodate large files that had been modified since a previous backup.

Carbon Copy Cloner 3.1.3 weighs 2.3MB and requires Mac OS X 10.4.8 or later.

CCC is a great program; I use it all the time for cloned backups.

I don't use CCC that much anymore, but it's a fantastic application. Even made a donation.

Newbie here. What are the proper settings in Carbon Copy Cloner one should use to make a clone the internal drive? I tried once and selected the external drive as the startup drive in System Preferences, but it wouldn't boot to the drive.
