SuperDuper to the rescue
Using the Macintosh is a fantastic,
trouble-free experience.
Except when it's not. Like when:
That system update you just applied has a subtle but fatal incompatibility with your Macintosh
The system suddenly fails to boot
The new driver you just updated is causing your Macintosh to crash
That lousy software you just tried didn't come with an uninstaller, and scattered files all over your drive
You need to restore a stable copy of your system, but don't want to lose what you've been working on
You need to test new versions of the operating system with production data you can't afford to lose
For those of you lucky enough to have avoided these problems, be happy... for the moment. For the rest of us, though, recovering can be a painful, error-prone, time-wasting experience.
Until now.
Have no fear. SuperDuper is here!
When you use SuperDuper, you no longer have to worry about the effects that system updates, new drivers and trial programs might have on your Macintosh. Because complete recovery is only a few clicks away. And you won't lose any user-specific files!
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:
Developers and Seed Sites
Need to keep up to date with the most recent weekly build of a new operating system? Use the provided "Copy with Shared User Files and Applications" script, or create your own. A few clicks later and your clone is ready to upgrade, without unsafe downgrades, or unsupported "intermediate build" upgrades!
QA Testers
Need to regress against a large number of operating system targets, or other types of fixed configurations? Simply save a series of images, and in minutes you can restore them and be ready to test.
System Admistrators
Need complete control over building a standard image for one, one hundred or one thousand systems? SuperDuper's Copy Scripts make it easy!
Expertise not required.
SuperDuper comes preconfigured, ready to perform all the most common copying and cloning tasks. Our experts have poured over the Apple documentation so you don't have to. Every step of the process carefully follows all Apple recommended policies and procedures.
Whether you're making a full backup to a disk image, or a complex clone to test a software update, the process couldn't be simpler: select the source drive, the destination and the appropriate script. Click "Start Copying", and SuperDuper does the rest.
SuperDuper's interface confirms all your actions in simple, clear language to ensure that the end result is exactly what you intended. Take a look!
