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:

Full Leopard support
Can store a bootable backup side-by-side with a Time Machine backup on a single volume
Can copy Time Machine backup volumes to other drive when you need more space (or want to back up your archived data)
"Run Now" button for scheduled copies
Automatic preservation of any custom icon on the destination volume
Improved Spotlight handling
Performance and other improvements

Of course, the new SuperDuper 2.5 still improves on the acclaimed original in many ways, including:

The ability to easily schedule backups
Additional imaging options
More control over shutdown
Better AppleScript support
Hundreds of UI improvements
Growl support
And a completely rewritten, task-based User's Guide.

I have used SuperDuper for more than five years now. It has "saved my bacon" or that of someone I love at least once each year. SuperDuper is a breeze to use, with tons of safety, power and flexibility. Copy now or on any schedule you can imagine. What sets the product apart is what sets any product apart, customer service. I have never paid for an upgrade and, more importantly, the developer, Dave Nanian, makes it easy to send the information he needs to diagnose any problem and is back to you within a few short hours, often within a few short minutes. This is one of a handful of products I recommend highly and right away for all of my Mac friends. Between it and Time Machine, you are as bullet-proof as you can be.

I have been using this for years and I only paid once. They gave me free updates. It has saved my Butt many times. It's the most user friendly backup programs out there too.
I has always worked like a charm for me, and they have great cust. service too. Anytime I needed some help or advice they emailed me back with the answer to my question.
