Clone PowerBook to Mini?

Yes, that might be a good, easy way to copy things over. But will that also accomplish my goal of having a backup computer that can easily be *maintained* as a clone?

For example, using the Migration Assistant would seem to create a slightly-different initial data set. In that case, I probably couldn't use SuperDuper smart updates to maintain the match between my old PowerBook and the new Mac Mini.

If so, would SuperDuper's copy newer, or copy different, options let me simply accomplish my goal?

Thanks again for the prompt response. ...pt
