Product Description:

Carbon copies. And a whole lot more.
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 disaster. 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.
To ensure you can safely roll back a system after the unexpected occurs, SuperDuper doesn't stop there.

With a few clicks, you can easily "checkpoint" your system, preserving your computer's critical applications and files while you run on a working, bootable copy. If anything goes wrong, just reboot to the original. When you do, your current Documents, Music, Pictures -- even iSync data -- are available! You can get back to work immediately!

Clones for industry!
SuperDuper has enough features to satisfy the advanced user, too. Its simple-but-powerful Copy Script feature allows complete control of exactly what files get copied, ignored, even aliased ("soft linked" for the Unix inclined) from one drive to another!

SuperDuper is perfect for software developers, software "seed" sites, QA testers, even system administrators.

What's new in this version:

This version works around a Jaguar bug that prevented Mac OS X 10.2.8 users from unlocking their keychain after booting from a regular or safety clone.

In addition, you get all the goodies from 1.3(68.1), including:
  • Saved Settings You can save a whole group of settings -- source, destination, options and script -- and re-load them for re-use.
  • Back-to-Back Backups You can now perform more than one backup without having to quit SuperDuper!
  • Automatic Re-Mounting If a volume or image is available but not yet mounted, SuperDuper! will automatically locate and re-mount it. If it can't be found, SuperDuper! will prompt, and continue once you've plugged it in.
  • Remembered source and destination volumes The source and destination volumes are now remembered when you quit SuperDuper!, and restored when you restart.
  • Faster and Better! We've improved performance and enhanced our error handling.
As always, existing users should use the built-in, improved auto-upgrade mechanism.

Keep the feedback coming, and thanks!

SuperDuper! ReviewTop notch - Version: 2.6.2, 11/25/2009 12:57AM PST

I have been using SuperDuper! for about three years and I really think it is an excellent piece of software.

It is so easy to use that I do actually back up every couple of days or so, something I have never got round to with any of the other backup software. The thing I like most though is the ability to produce a bootable backup. I know that if anything goes wrong with my main backup I can just plug in the external 2.5" drive that I use to back up and hey presto! I am back working again.

It is also very useful if you want to upgrade your HDD. You just stick the new drive in a USB/firewire enclosure, use SuperDuper! to backup then swap the disk in the enclosure for the internal drive and you're away.

Support is also first rate. I have a query a couple of days ago and exchanged a few emails with Dave Nanian. He was very helpful and responded to my emails super fast.

I have no connection with Dave or Shirt Pocket but I like this product so much that I am doing my bit to promote one of my favourite pieces of software.

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 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!
