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.)

I emailed various questions to Shirt Pocket about this product (NAS compatibility etc.) and they were promptly answered in a round of back and forth emails, even though it was after 10:30PM. Thanks Dave! I've now purchased the product and am 100% pleased with it.

SuperDuper ReviewThe best of the best! - Version: 2.6.2, 11/15/2009 04:46AM PST

SuperDuper saved my gluteus maximus! Corrupted some files, probably boot sectors, on my iMac. Thus, it would not boot. Used my recent backup from an external 800 Firewire drive and copied the entire contents within a very short time. Hassle free, outstanding project for chump chance. Buy it!

SuperDuper CommentarySuperDuper is a Super Timesaver - Version: 2.6.2, 10/28/2009 02:41PM PST

This morning my OS hard drive died. It seemed to be running fine until a restart. After a couple troubleshooting techniques failed, I decided to try booting with my OS back up [made with SuperDuper]. The start up went fine and I was then able to use two different disc utilities to confirm the worst case: drive failure [well, it’s better than logic board failure…].

I purchased and installed a replacement drive; booted from my OS clone; formatted the new drive; launched SuperDuper and copied the data onto it. I rebooted on completion and was up and running. [NOTE: Selecting "Restart from..." under 'On successful completion' in the General Options pane allows you to walk away and return to the newly copied OS up and running]. The entire process would theoretically have taken less than an hour if I had a spare [internal] drive handy. How's that for minimizing downtime?

Look, THINGS HAPPEN & HARDWARE FAILS; often without warning. MY ADVICE: GET SUPERDUPER, A PORTABLE HARD DRIVE [I prefer OWC's Mercury On-The-Go 2.5" drives], AND GIVE YOURSELF A SAFETY NET FOR A RAINY DAY. If you rely on your Mac for important endeavors, it makes no sense not to have a [current] bootable OS clone. All app updates are free and the support is superb as well. SuperDuper is well worth the $27.95 price tag, especially when you consider the value of your time.
