Product Description:

Carbon copies. And a whole lot more. The 2005 and 2006 Eddy Award winning SuperDuper is the most advanced, yet easy to use disk copying program available for OS X. It can, of course, make a straight copy, or "clone" - useful when you want to move all your data from one machine to another, or do a simple backup. In moments, you can completely duplicate your boot drive to another drive, partition, or image file. Clones, though, don't work very well when it's time to recover from an unexpected system disaster - like a bad driver or OS update. Unless you take specific steps, restoring a drive image restores everything on the drive, overwriting both the system and user files. If that's what you want to do, great. But it's usually not, since all the work you've done since the backup would be lost. Clones for safety.

What's new in this version:

The latest version of SuperDuper! is up to 2x faster, adds great new features like Backup on Connect, Eject after Copy, Sparse Bundle support, and still lets you store a bootable backup alongside Time Machine backups, copy Time Machine backups to other drives, run scheduled copies on demand. As with every update, we've and polished and improved many other aspects as well. (A full list can be found by selecting Help > Revision History.)

Must have, prevented years off my life due to stress - Version: 2.6.2, 8/3/2010 04:18PM PST

David Polk

I'm thrilled to write a glowing review because this little piece of software has saved me so much stress and anguish. It's probably saved me from losing years off of my life due to stress. I'm writing this from my superduper backup drive right now because my computer crashed earlier today. I have a Skype meeting in 45 minutes that I can still do because I have this backup Time Machine failed me because my computer would not boot from the DVD Install Disk, but SuperDuper always works.

It's saved me multiple times. It's so easy...I just plug it in and I literally don't have to press any other buttons or even eject it...it does it on its own. Whenever my computer crashes, I no longer have to panic because SuperDuper has my back!

This is a MUST HAVE piece of software. I would pay triple for what it has given me.

Pros:
1. Automatic backups.
2. Makes a bootable copy of your Startup drive.
3. Unique Sandbox Feature: Lets you try software before installing onto your Startup drive.
4. Automatically mounts a drive.
5. Intuitive GUI - Easy to use.
6. 100% bug free.
7. QUICK, helpful & patient support. Second to none!
8. Reasonably priced ($27.95). Would easily pay double.
Cons: NONE!

It is not a matter of if your hard drive will fail but when!
Have an external Firewire drive that I "Unmount" using Disk Utility. (Don't need it to spin all day since it is used only as a backup.) At 5:30 a.m. SuperDuper! will automatically mount it and make a copy. S. Bedrosian
