  1. My super duper keeps deleting files from the back up disk when it does a back up ??
  2. Thanks helpful👍👍 👍
  3. What do you find better if you could only choose one??
  4. Was this before time machine? or is this better than time machine????
  5. Hi, nice video, espacially the focus on the windows. But I already have one question. I ran into trouble while, however, MacOS died and my MacBook was locked in efi. So iwas neither able to boot from the internal drive, because the OS didnt work, nor to chose a diffrent bootdrive at startup, because it would ask me for efi password.
    Is it passible to prevent such trouble using superduper? Maybe by chosing the backup as primary boot drive and just disconnect the backup hard drive for normal use while startup, so the computer would boot up from the internal drive?

    Thanks!
  6. It's a pity the video doesn't show how to restore the cloned hard drive from Super Duper back to the Mac (after erasing the Mac's internal hard drive or when one needs to install a new hard drive). That would have been really helpful.
  7. I am updating my current mid 2009 macbook pro with a new SSD harddrive. If i do this and completely copy the files to the SSD can i just plug it in and continue life?! I was wondering the effects that it may have on my OS and microsoft office stuff etc. Thanks very much
  8. why wouldn't you copy the files to the external drive (hooked to a usb to usb adapter) and then put it in your computer when completed as opposed to the other way around as you described?
  9. I'll be sure to check it out. Thanks
  10. USBnTN - I believe it saves the image to drives only. Dean - you are completely correct. I have a tutorial on how to create a bootable OSX install disc onto a memory stick in my other videos on my channel ;o)
  11. Unlikely. It depends on what OS you are using. MacOS has been shipped on DVD for so long now I can't remember what version was the last to ship on a mere CD. Could have been OS 8 for all I know. The latest version is download only of course. I believe one can save the zip file to one's HDD and/or a USB stick. Also that one can have a bootable copy of Mountain Lion on an external USB stick too. Not on a CD though - way too big a file for that I'm afraid.
  12. Thanks for a really well explained demonstration. I've been considering SuperDuper in addition to my TimeMachine backup for sometime now. I current backup my iMac's 750GB to a 2 TB WD My Book Studio II (configured as a 1TB RAID 1 device). After just over three years it's filling up. So I'm considering alternatives right now.
  13. I dont think so - its just a clone to another HDD.
  14. i can also use an additional 500gb harddrive to clone it to and then replace the HDD in my iMac with that 500gb one. is this the more easy option?
  15. I've recently bought an iMac, and i have 'MY' computer installed on an external HDD. I would like to clone it to my built in HDD on the iMac. What is the best way to go about this?
  16. Yup, that will work fine. Make his MAC your own, with all your apps and settings by booting off of your drive!!
  17. Wow, ok! Thanks! I'm just going to buy a WD My Passport! So I can boot off of it on my friends Mac! Thanks!
  18. Yes, that would work fine.
  19. Yes, it will copy everything on the entire drive and make an exact copy of it.
  20. So this will copy the os as well? Thanks!
