So what if we don't want the entire drive cloned and only our user directories? My brother shares my powerbook with me when he's home from college. I want to backup our files to a hard drive but not the entire drive which would include the OS and other applications.
CCC offers the option of cloning only the things you want. If you are only copying documents in your user folder, it's probably not necessary to use something like CCC (which also copies invisible files). I'm not certain about this, but I think it's safer to use CCC if you're also wanting full copies of user preferences, libraries, etc. (some of which are invisible files and may not be copied using the Finder).
