Question Will SD 2.5 work with CalDigit VR eSATA / Leopard?

Hi,

I was just wondering if SD will make a bootable backup of my MacPro's main Leopard boot drive using a CalDigit VR RAID 1 External eSATA drive?

Will SD still make a complete bootable backup even though it is running from the OS drive it is backing up? Locked or files in use will not be a problem?

Is SuperDuper a better way to go than Time Machine? I am unlikely to delete a file.... but a drive crash WILL happen sooner or later.

We're happy to create the backup, yes, but whether or not it's bootable will depend on whether your eSATA card supports startup.

And, yes: SuperDuper! creates a directly bootable backup, something TM doesn't do. See my "Time's Arrow" post at the Shirt Pocket blog.
