Hi Is there anyway to get back the "Don't Replace" function when copying a group of same file names between the folders? Sometimes I want to copy a bunch of files and would like to skip those file with the same file names in another folder. With Lion, either I have to replace it (use more time to replace the file) or keep both files with renaming the files automatically by Lion. Any help? Thanks. |

IMO, CCC and SuperDuper! are backup apps and poorly suited for synching two machines.
I use CCC for the purpose of keeping various folders synchronized with 'master' versions of the folders, it works very well, so I'll disagree with you on this one.
Disagree all you want. I base my statement on Mike's post at http://help.bombich.com/discussions/questions/107-possible-use-for-ccc. Keeping a few folders consistent with a third "master" set isn't what the OP was requesting and not why I posted.

As you wish, I find CCC to be excellent for synchronizing a subset of folders, even Mike B states "CCC will work for this as long as you're vigilant about syncing after making modifications on one machine and not the other" Which is exactly what I do (exercising proper vigilance), I find it to be as good as Microsofts synctoy utility (without the 2 way ability for which I use SugarSync)
I am not sure if this has been solved because I haven't read through all the posts but if you hold option when the window opens asking if you want to keep both files the keep both files option will change to skip and it works the same as the don't replace used to.
Hold Option when you see the dialogue box.
thank you! very bad programming. how could one know about that
Well, after three years, its now common knowledge 🙂
