How to restore in 10.8?

[DavidCB]

I want to restore my drive from a SuperDuper backup, but with Mountain Lion (10.8.3), I am unsure how to proceed. As far as I know I can't just boot from the backup and do a Smart Update, the way I could with 10.6, can I?

Thank you,

David

Sure you can, David - a restore is done the same way. Use "Restore - all files" with "Smart Update".

Thanks--At first I thought I might have to go through OS X Recovery but later realized that doesn't enter into this. I did a Smart Update restore as usual with no problem.

Exactly - glad you're all set.

Dave, just did a new backup with Super Duper last night. Now I need to restore my rMBP internal drive with that backup. What are the steps? Note, backed up hard drive is connected and mounted. Using OS X 10.8.3.
