 and volume cloning solution for Mac OS X. The program manually or automatically backs up fries, synchronises data between two computers or volumes, and clones bootable Mac OS X volumes.

Backups, synchronisations and clones are made with one click of the mouse.

Alternatively, users can create scripts and define exceptions, select multiple sources, set schedules, and clone their Mac OS X start-up volume to ensure they have bootable backups at all times.
