One thing that carbin copy cloner does is clone your hard drive and make it
bootable which means if for some reason your main drive crashes, you can just
replace the bad drive, then clone the latest backup to the new drive and you
should be good to go. Time machine does not have this feature.

Subject: Re: Should I buy carbon copy cloner? Is it good enough to just use
time machine? Thought anyone?
I use both. CCC will do the same basic backup as Time Machine but is very
flexible if you wish to make more focused backups of specific data.
Also creating restore tasks can make restoring easier.
If CCC offers a trial, give it a try.
