Just a heads up I ran into reading peoples comments about Mountain Lion on another forums. New Carbon Copy Cloner release for ML will be a PAID only download. It will work for 30 days then you have to pay. Think it's $35.

The older versions will work for free but the last one is not guaranteed to work properly with Mountain Lion. I prefer CCC over SD, But SD just came out with a new ML version and it's still free for the basic version!

Just to be sure I ran CCC in Mountain Lion and it offered to upgrade to new ML Compatible version and warned me it was no longer free.

Well don't know about the free bit. Bombich always did ask for a donation hence the term donation ware. Pity donors cannot update to paid version at a lesser amount.

You DID not have to donate. If you read the whole URL people that DID donate will get it for free or cheap.

"If I donated for CCC in the past, will I have to purchase the new version?
No. To express our appreciation to all of the people who have sent a verifiable donation to Bombich Software prior to July 24, 2012, we will grant a registration code for CCC 3.5. If you are a previous donor and see a message about a 30-day trial, you can retrieve your registration code. We have done our best to automatically generate registration codes for all that have donated in the past, so please first try to retrieve your registration code via the web, as described below."

As a side note, Bombich Software is offering it for 29.95$ until August 12th in a "Mountain Lion Sale." Then it reverts to 39.95$

I like SD but have not used it much under Lion. I don't really need it to clone the Recovery partition but somehow it bothers me that it doesn't.

I just grabbed the latest version of CCC last week before the announcement too. It's sad that they can't go on any longer without purchasing the app, but developers have got to eat too.
