About

Carbon Copy Cloner 6 is a macOS utility for hard disk backup and cloning. This Homebrew cask installs the Carbon Copy Cloner app for the specific 6-series product; it is distinct from the unversioned carbon-copy-cloner cask.

The supplied package information identifies the app as a backup and cloning utility. It does not establish further capabilities for this specific version, so this entry does not describe features presented for other Carbon Copy Cloner versions.

  • Product type: macOS application for hard disk backup and cloning.
  • Installed app: Carbon Copy Cloner.app, placed in /Applications.
  • Homebrew cask: carbon-copy-cloner@6; it conflicts with the carbon-copy-cloner cask.

Install with brew install --cask carbon-copy-cloner@6. After installation, open Carbon Copy Cloner from Applications. The cask requires macOS, but the supplied package information does not specify a minimum macOS version or other system requirements.
