New User confused a bit....
 

Ok, I purchased the software, love it! Works without issues.

On my old pc laptop I did something called incremental backups. Meaning only the files that have been changed on the laptop, therefore creating a much smaller image, but also requiring me to use the oriignal large backup for restoring, if needed.

How do I do this with superduper?

The lingo is so different that it is a bit confusing.

Thanks

Assuming I understand what you're saying, we don't do that. See the Introduction to the User's Guide for a general discussion of the issue...

Ok, got that part figured out.

Next question is speed. It is going at about 8 MB/s and I am using a Maxtor OneTouch III with firewire. Shouldn't it be much faster?

I tried to do the non-compression thing mentioned in the FAQ but that is for a much older version which doens't seem to have those options to uncheck anymore.

Any Advice?

No, that's about how fast it should be going. On an Intel Mac, you should get about 8-12MB/s overall on a full backup when it's done.

(Theoretical speeds are typically protocol-level speed while streaming pure data -- you're copying a whole pile of tiny files, updating directory entries, adding metadata, etc.)

But I am an above average person.... :)

LOL

Thanks for the great product!

Well, perhaps if you stare at it and murmur encouraging words... ;)
