   Carbon Copy Cloner 5.0.4

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Bombich Software has issued [1]Carbon Copy Cloner 5.0.4 (CCC), ensuring
   that newly created disk images are formatted as APFS if the source is
   an APFS volume (and also creates the Preboot and Recovery volumes on
   these disk images so that they can be restored). The drive-cloning and
   backup app also fixes a bug with the free space indicator for APFS
   volumes in CCC's sidebar, resolves an issue where a backup task could
   stall while 'Cleaning up' if the task was configured to unmount the
   destination volume, and ensures that items marked as hidden now stay
   reliably hidden on an HFS+ destination in macOS 10.13 High Sierra. You
   can [2]upgrade to Carbon Copy Cloner 5 from CCC 4 for $19.99 (50
   percent off) or from CCC 3.5 for $29.99 (25 percent off). A free 30-day
   trial is available. ($39.99 new, paid upgrade from CCC 3.5 and CCC 4,
   free update from version 5, 13.6 MB, [3]release notes, 10.10+)
