Hi John,

What version of  OS X are you running and what version of CCC?
The latest version of CCC is 4.1.2 
What is happening when you launch CCC either from the Dock or from within 
Applications?
Have you tried opening CCC from select CCC in Applications then go to File > 
Open?

Shirt Pocket’s $38 SuperDuper 
<http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html> and Bombich 
Software’s $46 Carbon Copy Cloner <http://www.bombich.com/>—stand above the 
rest. Each has a long history, focuses on cloning, presents a simple and clear 
user interface, and includes unusual features that make it an especially good 
choice for creating and maintaining bootable duplicates.

Carbon Copy Cloner automatically archives the Recovery HD volume that is 
associated with your source volume to a disk image. This archive can later be 
restored to another Recovery HD volume, and CCC's Disk Center also offers the 
ability to create a new Recovery HD volume on another disk.

SuperDuper does not backup the Recovery HD Volume.

Cheers,
Ronni
