SuperDuper! 2.6.2 now even more so!

Doh, sorry for the double post, didn't think the first one went through.

I'd like it if SD! could do offsite FTP based backups - I have a large amount of offsite disk space available and the extra security involved in having your backups off site is huge.

Yes, I know it can't be a bootable "clone" this way, but it could be offered as an alternative option that would add value to SD!

I was planning to use a program called Twin (mentioned by TUAW some time ago - http://www.tuaw.com/2009/05/15/first-look-twin-1-0-for-mac-os-x/) but I was disappointed to see that it went from being a $39 app (when originally reviewed) that I would have bought in a heartbeat to a $70+ app, a price point where another external hard drive as a second backup makes more sense instead.

I prefer SuperDuper myself, enough to have bought it.

But the real question is - what magic allows them to double the speed of copying in a microversion update? I'm guessing that they're now multithreading rsync (or whatever "the cloner" is). A quick look at the Shirt Pocket blog suggests that 3X faster might be closer to actual performance. Impressive if true. I'll go do some backing up now!

When is this user going to finally be banned? I'm sick of all his Spam posts.

I use this excellent piece of software every weekday - it's saved me on two occassions and helps me to sleep better at night. Honestly, the best, "must have" piece of software every mac user should have.

Been using SD! for years, has always worked fine. Highly recommend it.

Once took a trip to Europe with gf. Rather than bring two laptops, we cloned hers with SD! to a small external. Whenever she needed to go online, we booted the laptop from her drive. When we got back home, we cloned the hard drive back to her Mac, and she was completely up to date.

I use SuperDuper! to back up my 700GB iTunes library monthly.

Had drive failure this week. I backup daily and I rotate full backups using 2 different backup disks and 2 different backup apps, SuperDuper & Carbon Copy Cloner. Long story short the CCC backup disk was the newest so I tried doing a complete clone from the CCC backup to my StartUp drive and it completed successfully but much of the data was old and I mean weeks old, never mind the missing data. Now remember, I backup every day rotating the disks and software, so I couldn't see how this was possible. CCC created a folder called lost + found and placed a bunch of node files in it. I was baffled, so I got out my SuperDuper backup disk and cloned that to my StartUp drive with success. Rebooted, everything looked good, I lost a bit of work I completed the past couple days but felt much more comfortable with the SuperDuper backup. I am sticking to SuperDuper, the developer team is very responsive and friendly but most importantly it is reliable.

I'm nit-picking, but I assume the guy means 1000kB = 1MB, not 1000B. :) That's a big changelog for a point-point-X release.
