Using SuperDuper as Root

[alf]

Hi,
there are two users on my iMac. Is it necessary to start SD as root so that there will be no problems with permissions?

[dnanian]

No, Alf. We run authenticated, and can access the other files without any trouble.

So, we can run the back-up from a non-admin account and just enter an admin username/password when prompted by SD ?

[dnanian]

That should work fine, Timmy, yes.

That should work fine, Timmy, yes.

The way you said that makes me think that there are some circumstances in which it is best to do the cloning from an admin account...

[dnanian]

Nope -- as long as you authorize as an admin, it should work just fine.
