I just downloaded Leopard and SuperDuper 2.5.
What I think I would like to do is use Disk Utility to partition my external HD and then use Super Duper to put a bootable clone of my OS on the smaller partition and use Super Duper to backup the remainder of my files.
Is this a "good" way to use Super Duper? Or are there other more preferred methods of using the software?
Exactly how do I make a bootable clone?
Thanks
Dave

No, you shouldn't do that: you should make a full copy on an external disk. Please see the User's Guide (Help > User's Guide) for a detailed description of how to use SD...
