SuperDuperWhile I was in Israel, SuperDuper announced the release of their Leopard compatible backup solution.

I have been obsessively awaiting the release of this backup solution for a long long time. Yes, I do have use Time Machine to backup but Time Machine is not a bootable copy (or exact clone), it is great for restoring files but not for when a hard drive crashes and you need to get going on a new bootable version.

I have been using SuperDuper as a backup program since August 2006. I am so glad it is back.

I ran my first update Sunday, a full backup. It worked well. But now when I try running the "Smart Update" feature that only copies changes, it tells me that I have run out of space. My Super Duper hard drive is the same exact size as my Mac hard drive. If it is a clone, it should not run out of space. I am not sure what is up with that, especially since I have about 15GB of space on my Mac hard drive.

I may just have to buy a larger hard drive, something I am not looking forward to doing. But I will do it, if that is the only solution.
