If you have not yet installed Carbon Copy Cloner 5 and CCC 3.5 is not prompting you to upgrade, you can manually download and install Carbon Copy Cloner 5. For illustrated directions, please see How do I download and install Carbon Copy Cloner?

Task Migration Assistant

If you created scheduled tasks with Carbon Copy Cloner 3.5 or later, you will be greeted by the Task Migration Assistant when you open Carbon Copy Cloner 5 for the first time. You can also choose Task Migration from CCC's File menu to see the Task Migration Assistant.

Click on each task to see notes about changes that CCC will make to the task to ensure its compatibility with CCC 5. Check the box in the Import column next to each task that you would like to migrate to CCC 5, then click the Import button.

Note: Tasks that are migrated to CCC 5 will be disabled in CCC 3.5.

If you would like to immediately and permanently delete one or more of your older tasks without importing them, simply select those tasks (Command+click to select multiple tasks), then press the Delete key.
