Hi All
I've used Super Duper a few times now with success to do a complete backup of my numerous systems/packages and it works great.
I decided to use a large partitioned drive to hold several backups and sized the partitions to the approximate sizes I thought I needed.
Each backup is a system and most of the apps, but lots of temporary files and unneeded data is left behind via a custom script.
Therefore it is hard to judge exactly what size the backup will be before I do it, thus picking a destination size gets tricky since (and here is my question) Super Duper does not seem to check the size of the defined backup against the desination volume before the copying begins.
Can it do this? I've done a couple of backups that failed because the destination volume was a few gig too small.
Thanks for any thoughts about this
