High Sierra backup

iMac Retina 5K, 27" Late 2014

I installed High Sierra on my internal drive, which is SSD, so the installation automatically changed it to APFS. I installed SuperDuper 3.0 B1 and tried cloning to an external USB3 drive and an external SSD, both HFS+. Smart copy would not work. Erase and then copy did work, but SuperDuper could not make either drive bootable.

But the process did convert the external drives to APFS.

To make the external SSD bootable, I installed High Sierra on it and that worked, retaining the cloned files. Too hard for routine backup though.

Is this what you expected from 3.0 B1?
