It's had 594 downloads at VersionTracker, but only one comment so far - from someone who takes issue with statements about the resource fork. Nothing helpful about the functionality of the program!!!

Carbon Copy Cloner works for me...but if someone else wants to try it out...let us know, won't you? wink.gif

This is a command line tool and you must use the Terminal to use it. So, in that case,  you might as well use the ditto -rsrcFork command which is used by CCC to copy and clone files and volumes.

I installed xtar, but haven't used it yet. It installs in /usr/local/xtar with a symlink to /usr/bin and there's no man page, but there is a help page. xtar --help

It's based on GNU-tar, an opensource unix archiving utility. BTW, tar (tape archive) is included in OS X.
