SuperDuper

Thanks Fryke. Not to be ungrateful but would Superduper not work just as well? ...

I have an three/four-year-old Macbook (60GB Core Duo 2Ghz with 1.25GB RAM running OS X 1.4 Tiger) which is starting to run a bit funny, the core temp is up in the mid-60s and the fan seems to be working a lot more than it used to. So I've decided I want to get it back to 'stock' to prolong its life - I really can't afford a new one at the moment :( Obviously I'm keen to...

I am backing up regularly every other day with SuperDuper. This morning after my scheduled nightly backup I had a backup failure. It seems SuperDuper has found a file that it can't copy and therefore aborts the backup. The log shows as shown below. ...

Obtain the program SuperDuper and "clone" your drive--make a "bootable copy." Takes about an hour or so depending on size. 3. Obtain a Leopard DVD by full approved legal methods all rights reserved avoid...

My pleasure! SilverKeeper is free, but like a lot of free things, free isn't necessarily the best deal. I wouldn't use SilverKeeper. You may want to google around for users' experiences with it. Carbon Copy Cloner and SuperDuper! are very similar cloning tools that can make bootable backups, and both are wildly popular. A number of users like to keep *both* a...

Sure. No problem. Some of these links may be out of date; I haven't checked them in a while. Before you go for any of these, you may want to have a look at this somewhat dated, but still mostly relevant article: http://blog.plasticsfuture.org/2006/04/23/mac-backup-software-harmful/ (Carbon Copy Cloner is now reputed to backup all metadata, just like SuperDuper!.) ...
