Time Machine with bootable clone backups
Volume Cloning
The new Volume Cloning feature allows Mac users to make an exact copy of their hard disk partition. And with a cloned boot partition, there is no need to restore anything before getting your Mac back up and running. Simply boot up from your clone and pick up where you left off.
Folder Merge
Keeping your files at home and work synchronized is now easier than ever with Shadow 5's new Folder Merge feature. If you shuttle files back and forth between home and work on a portable storage device, you need to make sure you're always working on the latest version of a file.
Continuous Data Protection (CDP)
You can accomplish a lot in an hour. With Shadow's Continuous Data Protection, you won't lose an hour's or even a minute's worth of work. Your Shadow backup always has the latest copies of your files because the backups occur as you save your changes.
New GUI
We gave Shadow a visual makeover inspired by other 'Pro' applications. And the new Mini Status window will allow you to keep track of all your backup jobs without sacrificing precious screen real estate.

Our comments :
Apple with Time Machine was the first company to integrate CDP into an operating system but beginning with OS 10.5 only and without the possibility to boot on the backup hard disk drive. NTI Shadow 5 do it. [As we are a Mac user, we are interested to test it and then eventually to buy it. Ed.]
