APFS is the new data storage file system Apple developed to replace the aging HFS+. It’s designed to work well with SSD storage—something that HFS+ isn’t optimized for. It’s already in place on our iPhones and iPads, and is coming this fall to the Mac in macOS High Sierra.

Carbon Copy Cloner 5 lets you backup and clone your storage devices, and the new version can make bootable APFS backups, supports APFS encryption, continues to support HFS+, adds new task organization, and includes more scheduling options.

Carbon Copy Cloner 5 is priced at US$39.99, with a 50% discount for upgrades from Carbon Copy Cloner 4 and 25% off from Carbon Copy Cloner 3.5. The app is available for download at the Bombich website.
