You've already got Time Machine. Having it isn't the same as using it but we're begging you here: use Time Machine - or something else like. Apple's own app. And third-party ones like SuperDuper!, and are all devoted to protecting your work by making copies of it. You know that hard disks and their replacement technology SSDs are critical.

Yet every time Apple or any other such company changes their operating system, it's likely to affect how that OS works with these drives. So the chief update to SuperDuper! In September's version 2.9.1 version is a confirmed, official compatibility with macOS Sierra - and that is reason enough to upgrade. Plus, it's free for existing users.

The job that SuperDuper! Does is the same as all other backup utilities but no two of these work the same way. Aims to make it quick to set up a backup copying of your data and to make certain that you know exactly what will happen when you click on the Copy Now button.

You may never go beyond that small main screen. From there you can say which drive you want copied to which other one. Choose these two drives and click.

You'll be asked to enter your Mac's password before SuperDuper! Will do anything, but once you have then it will back up your data. It's hard to see how that could be made easier to understand and the app does repeatedly warn you before you choose an option that could lose you any data. If you're connecting an old drive and telling it to backup to that, SuperDuper!

Will by default erase that disk. However, it will make sure you understand that it's going to do that and you have the options to stop it. The speed of setting up and getting going is important but it is in these options that SuperDuper! Becomes crucial.

It can't be controlled remotely nor can it email you when a backup is completed - or if there are problems. However, it can complete the backup and then eject the disk you're copying to. It can shut down your Mac.

So it's good for those end of day backups when you want to go home but the machine is still copying away. Set up a backup where SuperDuper! Will do its job and then shut down your computer for you so you can get out of the office on time. Is a rewarding app: it shows you what everyone needs but as you want more, it gives you extra. It's not as option-laden as ChronoSync but it is powerful and easy to use.

I highly recommend this software. Over the years, I've used the other two programs. Both are very good. While I have used the others for several years, both had some occasional problem or other that could prevent your clone from booting. SuperDuper has never had any problems that affected the clones, or incremental backups. Now-a-days, I use Time Machine to back all my start-up drives. I also use it on my Macbook Pro music server, and its external music library.

But I have a number of internal drives in my 2009 Mac Pro. These are all large drives, and the way they're organized, I have backups for each drive. Since I don't use what's in each drive on a regular basis, I don't use Time Machine for them.

When I do use any of them, I do an incremental backup using SuperDuper. When time comes, every three years, to replace those internals with new ones, I clone a newer, faster, and large drive with SuperDuper, and put the backup drives as the primary drive in the machine. That way, I continually replace drives with bigger ones over time, while ridding myself of older drives every three years. Three years is when most drives experience a rise in unreliability. I avoid that with regular replacements.

The backups get little actual use, and while drives go stale on the shelf too, my experience is that this allows me to avoid most long term problems. Edited January 13 •. It's the best. It even fools Adobe into thinking it's not been moved resulting in all the serial numbers still working. It great for making a perfect clone then transfering that clone to your new machine I'm having that exact problem: my late-2008 MBP died.

But that MBP was running El Capitan, not Sierra because a machine of that vintage couldn't be upgraded to Sierra. I had a SuperDuper backup of that machine. In addition, I pulled the hard disk out of the old Mac and put it in an enclosure. I bought a new Mac and used Migration assistant to move the files from the old internal drive (now in an enclosure). The serial numbers for Office and for my Adobe products did not come over. I can't find my originals. I got a tech at Microsoft to give me a license # (at the time I thought he found a way to pull mine), but it turned out it was for a student/home edition so Outlook didn't work.

I called back and had to pay $40 to get a key for Outlook. 10 minutes later I found the original key.

But I haven't found the keys for CS6, although I have some older ones. I go to my Adobe online account and there isn't a single app listed, even though I found an old email thanking me for registering CS6 and I know I've updated my products through Adobe. I figured if I boot one of the old drives, maybe I'd be able to copy over the Adobe apps and the serial #'s would come over. But you can't boot El Capitan on the new MBP.

Is there a way to use SuperDuper to bring over just the apps with their serial #'s? It might depend on the version of Microsoft software. I've used Superduper for a very long time, using both Migration Assistant and simply cloning the other Mac. One of the issues Superduper doesn't handle is creating a Recovery partition on a newly formatted Mac disk. I go ahead and install a new OS, then use Migration Assistant to build the new Mac using a Superduper clone. On my MBP running FileVaulted Sierra (early 2009 iMac running El Capitan), I encrypted my backup disk using the simple encryption capability (right-click after disk mounted) so my backup is also encrypted.

Superduper won't do a scheduled backup unless I enter the password first. For obvious reasons, I don't save that password in my keychain. One thing not mentioned in this article is that the free version of Superduper does not allow scheduled backups, you need to pay for the application.

I have used this tool for years and it has been great. I periodically do backup/restore to get speed improvement on hard drives.The support is fantastic and very prompt. I had an old 2009 17' MacBook Pro (using it now) and to extend its life I replaced the optical drive with a 1TB drive and the internal hard drive with an SSD. With their help, I used the Sandbox option in SuperDuper to put the system and Apps on the SSD with all the data files on the slower hard drive, Sandbox. Works great and it is usually hard to see a performance difference between the old MBP and my much newer MacBook Air. Thanks SuerDuper.

Super Duper is good, I've been more of a Carbon Copy Cloner guy because Bombich is IME much faster at updating for new OS versions/underlying system changes, having formerly been an OS engineer for Apple (but I have used SD in the past). Case in point: we're just now getting a fully Sierra-compatible version, three months after release, by their own admission. Thanks also for mentioning Chronosync, which is a terrific option for anyone who's cloning/syncing needs are more complex than a straight backup. It's the best.

Companies are very diligent about pirating.

I do t blame them, frankly. I have a book with all of my passwords and serial numbers. My feeling is that if someone breaks into my house, and the police don't get there in time after the central alarm goes off, then if they really see this book among all of my stuff, and look at it, they can have it. The point is that you NEED to keep records of all of this.

Don't believe anyone who tells you to never write it down. Software, in a number of cases is designed to recognize its in a new compurer, cloned drive or not. If you need to authorize a machine, then you need to.

As per my last paragraph, I can't boot the external drive because it has El Capitan on it. El Capitan won't run on the new MBP.

V2.9.1, with Official macOS Sierra 10.12 compatibility, was released on 12Sep'16, 8 days prior to Sierra being released to the public, on 20Sep'16. A publication that promotes, profiles or reports on a specific software title, is not always able to do so at the time of release.

I used to have both Super Duper and Carbon Copy Cloner but only use the latter now. Makes schedules, after back up scripts, makes Recovery partitions and releases betas for even the Developer Beta versions of macOS and it's fast and it even makes sparse-bundle disk images. What's not to like. Edited January 17•.

I've used SuperDuper! For the last 2-3 years and it works just as you would hope. Never had a problem. I've also just bought the Mountain Lion ready version of Carbon Copy Cloner and I'm impressed. I think the interface is more user-friendly and it seems like it makes a full back-up faster than SD.

Haven't actually timed it, but that's how it feels. Carbon Copy Cloner will also allow you to make a back-up of your Recovery HD (if you are on Lion or Mountain Lion) which I don't believe SD does. If I had to pick just one I'd go with CCC.

Jul 26, 2012 10:52 AM. I actually have and use both (no real reason - I initially just wanted to try both when they were new and just kept on using them).

Either one will work fine and have never failed me. I like SuperDuper's scheduling for incremental updates to the clone better than CCC's, but that is about the only substantial difference to me. Initially, when Lion came out with the recovery partition, there was an issue with SuperDuper, but the update was pretty prompt to deal with that. I seem to remeber CCC had an update just before the public release of Lion, so Mike B.

Was a bit ahead on that. I have SuperDuper set up to clone to a partition on the same drive I keep my TM backup on, and it is scheduled to update that clone once a week.

I also keep two portable, bus-powered hard drives for clones (one CCC the other SuperDuper - one offsite, and one kept in home firesafe). They've all been fine and that has been my backup strategy for several years now. Since you can try both for free, check them out and see which one is to your taste - you really cannot go wrong with either. Jul 26, 2012 10:58 AM. I often hear persons say that they backup once a week or even once a month. For goodness sakes a log can happen in a day compared to a week, heaven forbid a month! I am a long time user of SuperDuper!

And run multiple backups every night, two to attached hard drives and one wirelessly to my Time Capsule. This is in addition to my Time Machine backups which also go to my Time Capsule. The reason for the two backups to attached hard drives is that one of those drives is then exchanged with one offsite.

The cost of this backup procedure is minimal and does indeed provide a good degree of protection in case of a failure on my computer. Aug 18, 2012 1:53 PM.
