About Carbon Copy Cloner

Carbon Copy Cloner, which is simply called CCC, is a Mac OS X only application. It's so far the most downloaded application on Mac for data backup and restores, hard drive copy and clone. You can use Carbon Copy Cloner to do bootable backups when disaster strikes your hard disk to boot from your backup and keep working, or back up your data hourly, daily, weekly, monthly with the task scheduling feature, or do smart updates. Overall, this is a potent backup tool for Mac users.

So, the answer to the question in the beginning "Can Carbon Copy Cloner clone Windows drives?" is NO. But what if you also want to have such an excellent application that can be used on a Windows computer? What is the closest alternative to Carbon Copy Cloner for Windows?

Step 5. EaseUS Todo Backup allows users to save the backup files to every device that is handy for you, like a local hard drive, external USB drive, SD card, network drive, or a NAS drive, plus a cloud drive of the EaseUS brand. We personally recommend users to choose the cloud drive prior to a physical drive to save important backups due to the greater accessibility, flexibility and safety.
