SuperDuper! overview
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.

- Fixed Intermittent “double-launching” during install from download.
- Fixed a problem saving new schedules under Sonoma.
- Worked around issues with Mobile Documents and iCloud Desktop and Documents under Sonoma.

The main reason I didn't dump Apple and switch to Linux years ago was because Carbon Copy Cloner Versions 5 (and previous which I have used for 20 years) gave me the safety and security of knowing I had a bootable, full-system bare-metal restore clone at the ready in case of catastrophic drive failure. I recently "upgraded" to CCC 7 and it offers nothing over and above Time Machine. Correct me if I'm in error, but at this time, there is no software in the Linux Cosmos which can offer a full-system clone with restore capabilities?

The Bootable Clone Situation: Over at the Bombich CCC page, I posted the link to their article detailing what's going on at their end. Bombich specifically point to Apple's M-Series chips and accompanying APFS as unable to deal with bootable clone backups. MEANWHILE: There's been a good detailed discussion over at SuperDuper!'s Discussion site. The general conclusion from their Discussions Administrator is: "General reliability along with speed, and you're more likely to have a bootable copy on SSD." - - SUMMARY: Use ONLY SSDs as you bootable clone drive. ONLY! And, summarizing from Bombich CCC's perspective: ALSO make a SEPARATE BACKUP! SEPARATE! Apple's limitations are NOT allowing clone drives to work as RESTORE drives. Awful. SO KEEP THIS IN MIND! - - I.E.: Make your clone, but ALSO make a SEPARATE BACKUP! Here is the top level of the Bombich SuperDuper!

So CCC version 7 comes out, and I think, I still can't do bootable backups with it, yet here we go again - an 'update' that asks for more money. So I read the comments about SuperDuper! (what a name) and people claim I CAN do bootable backups with it, on Ventura, Sonoma, whatever. But Bombich said it was impossible. So who's right? (PS I notice that SuperDuper!'s user manual is dated as 2006, and the website looks like system 8 or something...) Totally confused.

I've reported to the dev that the "User's Guide.pdf" alias file on the DMG is broken. The User's Guide can instead be found at: /Applications/SuperDuper!/Contents/Resources/User's Guide.pdf - - The menu item Help/User's Guide works fine.

I can use this to transfer between a case sensitive system and a case insensitive system?
