What happened to Smart Update

Got a new iMac with elCapitan, downloaded latest version of SuperDuper, 2.8, and have done some backups but it appears that SmartUpdate is not used like in previous versions or at least it is not mentioned in the superduper box. Instead it says something like drive will be totally erased then backed up to make an exact copy. Is SmartUpdate still being used in 2.8 with ElCapitan? The first backup from HD to external partition1 did go surprisingly quickly, less then 20 minutes, and a subsequent backup from HD to same partition also went fairly quickly. But first backup from external partition1 to external partition2 took more than 40 minutes. Just curious about what is actually happening, smart update or not.
