SuperDuper! with Leopard and Tiger
Hello
My understanding is that it's usually better to (smart)backup a computer while it's not running; I'm used to booting on a partition of an external hd, running SD from there to clone my iMac on the second partition. It works fine under Tiger. I know there are issues between SD and Leopard, but is it ok to backup my new macbook (which runs Leopard) the same way, i.e from a partition of an external HD running Tiger? Will the second partition will be a proper clone, will it be bootable? I'm not using Time Machine, btw. (regardless the SD/Leopart issue, am I too paranoid using this method, or is it the proper way?) Cheers, --Remi |
No, I wouldn't do this right now: at least, not until our Leopard compatible release is out.

Or is it safe to run backups? --Marc December 28, 2007 @ 4:25 PM |
It's "safe" to run them, but they're not bootable, Smart Update isn't smart, and they're not fully restorable. Though the individual files are there.

I can live without the reboot knowing that the files are backed up. Does anyone have an idea of a timeframe for release of a fully working version for 10.5.1? Thanks Dave! --Marc December 28, 2007 @ 4:35 PM |
No, that's not what I mean: the copy method doesn't really matter, the backup won't be bootable. "Smart Update isn't smart" means it'll likely copy everything each time.
