DESCRIPTION
SuperDuper is an advanced, yet easy to use disk copying program. 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 for safety. To ensure you can safely roll back a system after the unexpected occurs. 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.

JOI  This is the BEST program to backup your computer to an external drive. It makes a MIRROR copy of your drive which is bootable onto an external drive, and it does so with ease!

I have been using computers for years and when I was on the IBM platform it was impossible to backup my stuff. The programs were either too complex, or the backup images, and files would be no good if you need to reinstall them. It was horrible.

With SuperDuper! I can finally back up my computer!!! This program is the BEST money you will EVER spend. Get a copy...  (Version 2.5)

BOBP63_GMAIL.COM  SuperDuper is simply the best bootable backup Mac software available for the personal user to date.

The latest Leopard update used in combination with Time Machine affords the end user with unparalleled data redundancy. I personally use a combination of two partitioned external drives to create what affords me full confidence in the security of my data.

SuperDuper and Time Machine are perfect complements for each other; both are fine products in their own right but together they're an unbeatable combination.   (Version 2.5)

GARY30  I must be missing something: I am not trying to start a controversy here in asking why SuperDuper seems to get so many more "warm fuzzies" than does Carbon Copy Cloner. As near as I can tell, they both have the same features, just implemented a little differently. For me, the procedure for setting up file exclusions seems much simpler on CCC.

Neither of these apps perform incremental backups (which is fine--that is not what they are intended for). I think they are both fairly priced (I donated to Bombich so long ago I can't remember, but I think it was 20 or 30 bucks). Both developers are wonderful.

Maybe its just publicity. I started with CCC way back when so I am going to stick, but if I had started with SuperDuper I imagine I would stick with it. Or maybe there is a preference or option in SuperDuper I am missing that would make me say, "Aha!"  (Version 2.5)

WOLFEATSWORLD  Best program of its kind-period.

Everything always does what it says it will do-and you don't have to worry about any feature of this fine application.

Also of note: One of the few developers out there for the Mac that is not a greedy %$#@$$!

Buy it. Enjoy it-and best of all, for me, relax.  (Version 2.5)
