Carbon Copy Cloner, often called CCC, is a Mac backup tool from Bombich Software that copies your drive to another disk, so you have a complete working backup if the original fails. Clone a whole volume, copy selected folders, schedule tasks to run on their own, and keep snapshots that let you step back to an earlier state. A setup assistant prepares the destination correctly, and clear logs show what each backup did. Updated Aug 20, 2026.
