    carbon copy cloner– documents gone

    Hi! Sorry, I have been away for a while. I thought more people used Carbon Copy Cloner– it seemed to me a couple of years ago it was familiar to many. CCC is still a very popular utility. My reference was to the way you went about the procedure of backing up. One would either clone the...

    carbon copy cloner– documents gone

There is no evidence to support the contention that Tiger does not run...
