SuperDuper

SuperDuper at $27.95 is a really great ‘piece of mind’ product.

I am a self confessed BackUp junkie, so I have a tendency to try pretty much every option that is around, but the one that I keep coming back to and find the easiest to use is SuperDuper. Specifically I like the ease with which it only backs up new files. I have had issues in the past with other application that have required you to delete the existing back up before doing a new one.

The interface is clear, concise and uses understandable language to confirm all the actions.

As I said, I am a back up junkie. I have a pretty detailed schedule that I follow somewhat maniacally. It involves three Macs, two external drives, incremental and temporary back ups, CD and DVD copies, both “on and off site”. Without doubt SuperDuper has made this obsession of mine somewhat less time consuming, with less hassle and geater security of mind.

Anyway, don’t just take my word for it – this is what they say:

“SuperDuper is the wildly acclaimed program that makes recovery painless, because it makes creating a fully bootable backup painless. Its incredibly clear, friendly interface is understandable, easy to use, and SuperDuper’s built-in scheduler makes it trivial to back up automatically. And it runs beautifully on both Intel and Power PC Macs!”

Why don’t you try it for free? You can download a version that will allow you to make clones of your drive(s) for free, you only have to pay if you want the more advanced (and flexible) features. I am pretty sure that after you have tried it you will ‘upgrade’.
