Super Duper Mac Clone

  1. Whether you use it to make one-off clones for IT work or to make scheduled, bootable copies of your Mac’s hard drive for backup purposes, SuperDuper is the best clone-based backup utility I’ve.
  2. Jul 24, 2009  So I partitioned the WD external drive in 2 parts (GUID partitioned- Mac Os Extended (Journaled)). One for the clone of my internal mac drive and the other for personal data. So I used superduper for that (with FW 800), following all the instructions, and made a clone of my mac partition to the designated WD passport partition.
I have a macbook pro (intel based) which has a partitioned internal hard drive. The one partition is used for Mac OSX (leopard) and the other for windows. My aim was to take a back up of my mac hard drive to my external WD My Passport Studio Drive 500GB (800/400 FW & USB 2). So I partitioned the WD external drive in 2 parts (GUID partitioned- Mac Os Extended (Journaled)). One for the clone of my internal mac drive and the other for personal data. So I used superduper for that (with FW 800), following all the instructions, and made a clone of my mac partition to the designated WD passport partition .
After the completion of the process I checked for any failures from the disk utility but nothing seemed to be wrong. So from the Preferences>Startup Disk I chose the WD partition (with the clone) to boot from, and hit restart-> the WD bootable partition won’t appear. Then I tried restart holding down the option key but the WD bootable partition won’t appear again.
1) my first Question therefore is, what went wrong?
2) Another question I have is the following:
I want to format the two partitions of my macbook pro (mac osx & windows) so I’ll have only one partition for mac os x. After I do that I would like to restore the clone from my WD passport (made with SD) to the new freshly formatted mac hard drive.
Are that steps right or do I miss something?

What you need to know

Superduper
  • Mac backup and disk cloning app SuperDuper now supports macOS Catalina.
  • The update has taken considerable work to complete.
  • The update is free for existing SuperDuper! users.

Jun 08, 2020  SuperDuper! Is a recovery program that exclusively copies Apple File System and Mac OS + volumes. The abbreviations for these are APFS and HFS+. This means files stored in CDs or DVDs cannot be backed up. It is because these files need the location of a file path outside of the boot volume.

I don't need to explain how important backing up your data is because we've already done it and you're smart people. SuperDuper! is one of my favorite tools for backing up and cloning my Macs and now it's been fully updated to support macmOS Catalina, too.

SuperDuper! is an app that has seemingly been around forever and allows people to clone their Mac's disk. That has a few advantages, not least the fact that the cloned disk can be made bootable. So, let's say you have an issue and need to get back up and running quickly. No problem, just boot from your cloned disk and you're back to work. It's magic, except better.

While I wouldn't say that SuperDuper! is a replacement for Time Machine – they do two different things – it really is a great addition to your backup strategy. And now you can make full use of it thanks to this update.

But that update didn't come easy. As developer Dave Nanian explains, getting SuperDuper! to play nicely with macOS Catalina's new storage methods wasn't a piece of cake by any stretch of the imagination.

Catalina divides your drive into two volumes (which is what we've been working all spring, summer and fall to support properly). A read-only 'system' volume, and a read/write 'data' volume.

Things you are allowed to write to, in general, are on the Data volume. Things you can't (the OS, Apple's applications) are on the System volume.

Before Catalina, I often told users that they didn't 'own' most of their drive: the vast majority of it was owned by Apple, or rather macOS. You only really 'own' your Home folder, in /Users, and the applications you install. (Yes, yes, I know about /usr/local, etc, but work with me here.)

Catalina now formalizes that concept beyond just Unix permissions and SIP-protected locations. The stuff you 'own' is now on the Data volume. The System volume is off-limits. For good.

Anyway, none of that really matters to users and you can download the new update for free if you already have a license. Everyone else can get in on the action for just $27.95. And it's worth every single penny.
