Nothing wrong with using CCC for backups - it will do the job quite well.
But even if you made a change to only one file in your backup set, CCC backs
up everything. Many of us prefer a backup system that only backs up what has
changed since the last backup. I created a mirror image of my PowerBook
using SuperDuper and since then use Deja Vu to update the changes daily. My
initial cloning took about an hour, the daily updates take about 5 minutes.
