At long last.

PRESS RELEASE: Shirt Pocket releases SuperDuper! 2.0 Heroic System Recovery for Mere Mortals - Better, Faster, Scheduled! Weston, MA – November 22, 2005: Shirt Pocket, creator of the 2004 Eddy Award Winning netTunes, announces the immediate availability of SuperDuper! 2.0, the most extensive update ever of its popular disk copying utility for Mac OS X. Every aspect of SuperDuper has been polished and re-engineered to add new functionality while improving upon its legendary ease of use. Backups are easier and faster than ever! SuperDuper can be used as a flexible backup program, but it goes well beyond mere duplication. Its unique “Sandbox” feature lets you install potentially risky drivers or system updates without fear of creating an unbootable or unworkable system – or losing access to your critical personal data. SuperDuper 2.0 improves on the acclaimed original in many ways, including: the ability to easily schedule backups; additional imaging options; more control over shutdown; better AppleScript support; hundreds of UI improvements; and a completely rewritten, task-based User’s Guide.

“We’re incredibly excited about this major upgrade to SuperDuper,” says David Nanian, founder of Shirt Pocket. “We’ve been working on it for over a year, taking the time to include the things our users have been requesting — as well as refining and improving the usability they expect from us.”

SuperDuper’s power is accessible to all Macintosh users, thanks to its easily understood interface and complete documentation. Everything that will occur is presented in a clear summary section entitled “What’s going to happen?”, ensuring that even the least experienced user is guided through the process step by step.

“I really like SuperDuper’s speedy and reliable backups,” says Rich Siegel, author of BBEdit and CEO of Bare Bones Software. “Scheduling and Smart Update make it fast and easy to protect my important data, so I can concentrate on my next great release — congratulations to Shirt Pocket on theirs!”

SuperDuper 2.0 supports Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later, and is available for immediate download at the Shirt Pocket web site http://www.shirt-pocket.com. It’s a free update for existing users. The unregistered version will perform full backups for free. Registration costs $27.95, and includes many additional timesaving features, including Smart Update for faster backups, Scheduling, and others.
