I want to backup my important data or synchronize my backup drive to my boot drive |

It is often desirable to maintain a frequently updated backup of your most important data in multiple locations. In general, it is wise to always maintain at least three copies of the data that is most important to you: the original, a nearby backup, and an "offsite" backup -- something that is kept outside of your home or office in case something terrible happened where you regularly use your computer. Carbon Copy Cloner 3 has been enhanced to provide additional functionality for facilitating this type of backup plan.
You may also notice that cloning your entire hard drive every time you back up your data takes a lot longer than it should. Why not just copy the items that have changed since the last backup? This functionality is a standard feature of Carbon Copy Cloner 3.
When you want to copy a selection of data from your hard drive, use CCC's "Incremental backup of selected items" option. Likewise, if you want to only copy the items that have changed since a previous backup, use CCC's "Incremental backup of selected items" option.
