Bombich SoftwareReviews of bombich.com

I used to use Bombich's software for a very long time (greater than 10 years I think), but no more! They will change the software, remove important facilities without notice to their customers and too bad for you if you actually need that facility. This just happened to me. Now all my backups are basically useless to me.

This used to be excellent software with an easy to overlook interface and all the important information up-front. With each update (which you have to pay for) it got more clunky, buried functions and with gimmicky graphics. Before it used to make carbon copies - exactly the same backups. Now - even if you switch of their new "snap shot" feature which I do not want - the backup gets bigger and bigger with each run. Definitely not a carbon copy and therefore not trustworthy. I have no idea what kind of garbage gets dumped now on backups. Look elsewhere!

mi MacBook se estropeó En 2022, mi MacBook se estropeó. En ese momento, estaba usando CCC 5. Esta fue incapaz de recuperar mis datos, así que perdí algunos Bitcoins. Fui un est.pido por confiar en esta aplicación. Pero tampoco soy tan est.pido como para ir a pagar ahora por una actualización de 46,40 euros.

I'll give CCC 5 stars - but the developer and support? 0 stars for my recent experience requesting help/advice on a copy of CCC5 that I purchased recently. Mike jumped in after the first guy said in reference to a feature /behavior/scenario that I was asking them about "I would expect it should work". "Expect"? Really?? "Should"?? I'm not accustomed to such vagueness from a software developer who's product concerns copying and protecting critical data. My initial question was carefully specific, so....I guess Mike didn't like my response stating that "expect it should work" did not illicit confidence in my proceeding. He wrote back and said "Why not?" What is this, 20 questions? Great software...very poor and snarky support. I'm on my own I guess.

Why must I buy the same thing twice? I purchased CCC5 a few years back and was happy enough as it saved my skin a few times. Then last October it started giving me trouble, unable to find past back ups. (Thankfully, I knew where they where....) I survived until this week. I open it and it tells me my trial period has ended and I need to purchase it. 😡 I have since been in contact 5 times, giving order no, registration details, date of purchase, invoice no, etc etc and still no reply. Not a whisper. Seems like they want me to pay again for it. This company used to be one of high repute, the interface was simple, the product reliable and its software something you could trust in an emergency. What has gone wrong? C'mon! get your act together guys or else you could find yourselves going out of business altogether

I've purchased their software around 1 year ago and now they've upgraded to CCC 6 and I'm basically obliged to buy the new version. This because the version I've bought (CCC 5) said that if I continue to use it and do not upgrade it may put my data in risk. I consider it a scam, as after little more than 1 year I have to buy again the software to continue using it. So be careful because the real cost may not be the one you were expecting.

It used to have a wonderful simple and very effectual interface. To the person(s) in Bombich who decided to change it to this cumbersome monstrosity: never trust your aesthetics and practicality skills. What you achieved is bad at multiple levels...

Terrible - maybe if you are a nerd sort of usable- but for any normal person, freelancer, even computersavvy ones, a pain in the *ss. Save your money, there are better alternatives out there.
