v. 3.1.3 (21), December 8, 2008
• Fixed an issue in which the target volume would not be bootable in some cases.
• Fixed an issue in which a block-level clone would be attempted inappropriately.
• Included updated localizations including a complete French localization.
• CCC should no longer check for updates if a backup task is running.
• CCC now ignores Time Machine backup databases. Time Machine backups will not be backed up (CCC does not support backing up Time Machine backups).
• Messages indicating that a scheduled task's target disk has reappeared are now automatically dismissed after 60 seconds allowing the task to run.
• Fixed an issue that would prevent the saving of scheduled tasks upon the very first launch of CCC.
• CCC no longers permits non-HFS+ volumes as a selectable source volume (in support of the defined system requirements).
• Fixed an issue in which files or folders with special characters (e.g. "[", "]", and "*") could not be excluded in an "Incremental backup of selected items" backup task.
• Fixed an issue in which CCC would report a generic error rather then indicating that a backup task failed because there was not enough free space on the target to accommodate large files that had been modified since a previous backup.Fixed an issue in which the target volume would not be bootable in some cases.

I've used CCC exclusively for cloning (bootable) drives since it was first introduced many years ago. (Most recently for cloning my Ministack ext. drive after upgrading the 1TB drive inside.)
