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.

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.
