Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) features an interface designed to make the cloning and backup procedure very intuitive. In addition to general backup, CCC can also clone one hard drive to another, copying every single block or file to create an exact replica of your source hard drive. CCCs block-level copy offers the absolute best fidelity in the industry!
Excellent interface, makes cloning a drive effortless. Although it is not instant, it has saved my data. Having tried a number of Windows & Linux clone apps, Carbon Copy Cloner is effortless, very simple to use, and remarkably effective. Clonezilla at the moment is failing to clone my drive, Clonezilla does not even have a clear method to exit Clonezilla & remove the usb key it is installed on! Seriously bad now compared to when a last used it a couple of years ago... Amazed that there is not a clear path to exit that includes safely removing the media!

One of the best cloning app for macOS.
Needs better filtering options to remove files/folders from backup/cloning jobs.

Cloning your hard drive can be super handy if you have a Hackintosh, since things almost always go wrong every time you try to update your software. Cloning your hard drive means that you always have a backup that you can boot to, just in case the newest OSX update makes the copy on your original hard drive explode. :D
Anyways, Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) is free, and the ads aren't particularly intrusive-- you'll be minimizing the application most of the time anyways.
