Well, it is a little funny that my scheduled backups were working for a year, and then quite suddenly, when I upgraded the OS, they stopped happening. Under scheduled copies, SuperDuper accurately...

Thanks. That's because the Boot Manager is in BIOS/EFI? The EFI partition loads the boot device drivers. I guess that's not part of the OS because you need it to start up the OS. Maybe all I needed...

OK, let me wrap things up here. Dave and I did some discussion offline, but he finally suggested just dumping my High Sierra and reloading it. That took some effort as the Apple instructions for...

Sorry, not being clear here. If you connect an APFS disk to an OS that does not know how to communicate with APFS, SuperDuper will STILL try to copy, and takes time grinding away seeming to do it....

Thanks. Not a big deal, but if the OS DOESN'T support APFS, it strikes me as a little funny that SuperDuper blasts ahead with trying to copy to a non-APFS disk. That is, you only find out half an...

backup disk formatting
Just an FYI, not sure if it's been talked about before. I was trying to create a bootable backup for an old machine, for which the internal disk was formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled). The backup...

I get "Failed to rename volume: Read-only file system (49182)".

renaming bootable backups - an observation
Just a comment. I've been surprised that I can't change the names of my bootable backups. That is, when you pull up the bootable backup volume, you click on the icon, and then on the title, the title...

backup time stamp?
Simple question. Does the SuperDuper backup provide anywhere any info about WHEN the backup was done? That is, when I boot from a backup, I'm wondering WHEN this backup was made. Am I looking at...

copy failure
I'm doing a backup to a new Crucial 500GB SATA SSD. The progress of the copy-after-erase backup is confusing. With a 160GB total, "Replicating System Volume" starts out increasing fast, but then...
