Nov 11, 2023 · Thanks for the quick response so I could also just use 1x 2TB SSD (SuperDuper) and 1x 4TB SSD (Time Machine)? At the moment I have a HDD and it does make some noise, an SSD would be nicer, but is an SSD (price aside) a good option for backups because I also read here and there that SSD is less reliable.

Dec 17, 2024 · With these tools now malfunctioning in macOS 15.2, SuperDuper and potentially other backup utilities are unable to create complete bootable backups. As a temporary workaround, SuperDuper users can still back up their applications, data, and settings using the app's "Backup - all files" option with "Smart Update" enabled.

Jun 20, 2010 · I have used SuperDuper for the past 5 years. It works flawlessly, and is very easy to use; it walks you through the steps and you never have to worry about doing anything wrong. As a correction to what others have posted above, SuperDuper has a "Smart Update" feature in which it will only copy over the changed files, essentially mimicking the ...

Oct 31, 2016 · Been using SuperDuper! reliably for years, and it has always performed as advertised. Takes less time now that I have SSDs both inside the machine it is cloning/copying from, and to the external device it is writing to. And this is via USB 3.1. Also SuperDuper! has not been updated for Catalina.

Sep 14, 2020 · Given that SuperDuper! is just one of my 5 critical applications that is not yet compatible with Big Sur, I have no problem waiting. Even if all those apps were compatible with the initial release, it would still not be a wise move to move/upgrade to Big Sur right away, as the article so correctly points out:

Feb 18, 2021 · 1. When the new Mac arrives, before you open the box, connect your SuperDuper backup to the old Mac and run it one last time. 2. As the backup is running, take the new Mac out of the box and set it on the table. DO NOT OPEN THE LID YET (it will boot automatically if you do). 3. Let the SuperDuper backup complete.

Jul 20, 2001 · I use TimeMachine for continual backups. I have used SuperDuper for years to make an extra copy that I update periodically and store off-site. I gave up on bootable a couple of years ago. Not a big deal for me since I don't need a solution for "restore immediately" as one might need in a mission critical situation.

Mac Min1c M1, MacOS 11.4, SuperDuper! 3.5-beta.3 (Shirt Pocket 1 Shirt Pocket 2) I've always preferred SuperDuper! to CCC, so was excited to find that they finally have a backup for Big Sur M1 Macs that lets you boot of an external drive. IOW, a …

Dec 17, 2024 · Reliable, bootable backups with SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner have been a very mixed bag according to what I’ve read about the subject. In my own case with my M1 Studio Max it has never worked. I select the SuperDuper clone for the startup disk, it begins and after ten seconds or so it fails. Other posters here report the same.

Oct 30, 2013 · SuperDuper! is quicker and will achieve exactly the same result. Carbon Copy Cloner has one advantage over SuperDuper! and that is that it can recreate the recovery partition. BTW if your Mac originally came with Mavericks, you don't need the recovery partition, because using Cmd+R for internet recovery will always clean install Mavericks!
