With Mac OS X, the system is now a very complex construction with multiple folders, most of them being inaccessible (invisible, protected or permission denied). Moreover, any copy or installation must preserve permissions and ownership of each file.

Clone X permits you to create useable copies of your disk as well as special copies, such as the creation of bootable CD or minimum System disks.

Copy an entire disk: Clone X provides functions to copy the entire disk contents into another disk or a set of CDs or DVDs.

Clone your System: Clone X provides powerfull features to copy your System, even if the system was installed and updated many times with the updaters provided by Apple.

Restore your disk or your System: starting from a copy, Clone X will be able to restore your system or your entire disk, back to a previous clean state.

Bootable CD creation: Clone X can create bootable OS X CD including your desired applications.

Create minimal System disks: Clone X can copy a minimal System to a disk, so that you can install it on a small partition, create a disk for tests, or restart from a clean reduced System.

Here are some key features of "Clone X":

· Copy entire disk into other disks, CD or DVD, subfolder.
· Copy with or without the Users documents and settings.
· Restore from disk or multiple CD/DVD.
