It is our aim to have the Task History window provide the user with enough information to find and troubleshoot any problems they're having with their backup tasks. For debugging and support purposes, however, CCC logs its activity in the following files:

  • Task Activity: /Library/Application Support/com.bombich.ccc/pht_debug.log
  • Task Editing: ~/Library/Application Support/com.bombich.ccc/ccc_debug.log
  • CCC Dashboard: ~/Library/Application Support/com.bombich.ccc/ua_debug.log
  • Remote Mac Authentication Agent: ~/Library/Application Support/com.bombich.ccc/sshauth_debug.log

Tip: Hold down Command+Option and choose Open Debug Logs from the Carbon Copy Cloner menu to open these four files in the Console application.

If there's something specific that you're retrieving from the log that is not presented in the Task History window, please let us know. We'd prefer to consider exposing that information in the Task History window so you don't have to dig through the log. Also, note that basic details of task history are exposed in CCC's command-line utility, so that may be an easier way to get the information.

Where can I find a list of every file that CCC has copied?

You can find a transaction list for each task history event in the Audit tab of CCC's Task History window.
