Restore Question
I backed up one MacBook Pro using SuperDuper and would now like to use this backup on my new MacBook Pro (which I have been using for a couple of weeks and have installed a 32GB Windows partition on. How can I use the backup I have to make my current MBP exactly like the one I used to have? Basically install the old computer on to my new one? Thanks in advance for any help that is offered.

It kind of depends on what MacBook Pros you have, and what OS version(s). If you can start up from the backup on the new MacBook Pro, then you can just copy it back to the internal drive.

Dave,
I've just started doing a backup and am waiting to see if it works. What I didn't mention above is that the backup is on a USB2 drive which I didn't think was bootable but upon experimentation I found it was! I will post the results! |

USB drives will work as startup drives for Intel Macs.

OK, first attempt at restoring failed with an error message stating that it had failed to copy all the files. It looked like it stopped after copy 99.99% of the files, it took an age as well, roughly four hours to do 150GB.

I'd really need to see the exact error to be able to help... perhaps send the log to me at the Support email address?
