Wish I had noted this before. My manager just got a new Macbook so we
used CCC to migrate everything from his old Macbook to the new one by
putting the new machine in target mode and then cloning it all via
firewire. Worked well but we never did figure out how to get to the
status thermometer and stuff with voiceover. Didn't think of turning VO
off and on again. I wonder why?

Hello Christopher,
Have fun getting CCC to work for you, I think you'll love it.
Here's a little hint for all us VoiceOver users.
Once you've set up CCC and have entered your password to start what ever
process you are using, for example, a complete clone, here's a way to make sure
you are able to track what's going on.
After the process has started, just toggle VO off then back on. Then you will
be in the actual results window. I've tried using the keyboard to switch to the
actual activity window, but for some reason, I cant get it to work.
So again, just toggle VO off and then back on to be where the action is.
Then just VO right or left to examine the different parts of the activity as
it's taking place.
In the past, I've used Super Duper and Time MAchine. So I decided to take a
really close look at CCC. In my humble opinion, CCC tops them all. Again, just
how I see it.
HTH!

Subject: Just my thoughts regarding CCC Carbon Copy Cloner
Hello List,
JUst some thoughts on prepairing for Lion.
I set up CCC (Carbon Copy Cloner) and I really love it. It's extremely easy to
use and it's 100% accessible for VO users.
Not only is it easy to make a complete clone, or a incremental backup, it's
also really easy to boot from and use it on the external drive.
The log details are well written and easy to understand.
Restoring the original drive is also really easy to do.
CCC is produced on a shareware kind of concept and it uses a donation request
field. This is available within CCC as well as on the site.

So, why am I posting this?
In light of Lion's upcoming launch, I just wanted to really be prepared. No
matter what you use as a backup utility, CCC or Super Duper or any other backup
package, I strongly suggest that you cover all bases and be completely ready
for the new exciting move to Lion!
Dan
