This is a biased review. I have an axe to grind. I'm pissed off at what happened with SuperDuper (and its flaky support of Leopard). Truth be told, I would have left CCC in the dust had SuperDuper not dropped the ball on Leopard. But I had to come back, because SuperDuper just plain doesn't work right under Leopard.

Look at history? Remember OS X Panther? I was using CCC back then to clone my drives and loved it. Then something awful happened. Apple upgraded its OS to Tiger. And guess what? CCC dropped the ball. It didn't support Tiger, so I grudingly had to switch horses and go to SuperDuper. I thought to myself, "How stupid! CCC had me as a customer and now they lost me. If only they had been compatible with Tiger, I would have stayed with them."

Ain't it funny how history repeats itself? When Leopard came out, I was happy as a clam with SuperDuper, but guess what? They don't work with Leopard (yet). I couldn't believe it! In fact, I cloned some drives with SuperDuper (not knowing about its incompatibilities) and nearly lost all of my data. How easy would it have been to tell their users, "We don't work with Leopard yet?" But the app didn't tell me, so I kept on cloning.

Finally, I learned I had to switch horses again and go back to CCC. I'm glad they're "back" and hope they continue to make kick-ass software.

Look, I'm a paid and registered owner of both CCC and SuperDuper. They are both outstanding apps, but SuperDuper just plain dropped the ball (just like CCC did back in the Panther-->Tiger days).

I'm pissed off at SuperDuper. It would have saved a lot of us dedicated users a lot of grief if you coulda just told us that you didn't work with Leopard (through a Software Update sentence?).

Long live CCC. It's not just important for what I do every day. It's essential. Data is life.
