I don't know anything about CCC, but last month I had a big hard drive drop dead in my G5 that was full of movies, made by iMovie, Final Cut Express, and Final Cut Pro. But fortunately I have this G5 connected to a 1 TB external hard drive with Time Machine backing up to it, and it saved the day. I put a new hard drive in the G5 and told Time Machine to restore the data from the dead drive to it, and it worked perfectly. Every restored movie launches and runs just fine, and the OS was also restored and boots up without a hitch. After the restore process was done (it took hours) it was as if the original drive had never died; everything was back to normal and works great.
Another thing: since Time Machine makes hourly backups, when I'm editing video and really screw something up, all I have to do is enter Time Machine and go back a few hours to get an earlier version of the movie and start over. Very convenient. So I can certainly recommend and endorse Time Machine.
