Will super dooper also work with uSB external drives
As far as I know, SuperDuper will work with anything that can be mounted as a volume on your hard disk. It can even use a sparse disk image. HOwever, if you want the "bootable" feature, you need to pick something that can be used as the startup disk. In most Macs, this is only firewire. I personally use a USB drive to backup a MacBook, and a firewire to backup a PowerMac G5, and a network drive with a sparse disk image to backup a G4 tower.
If you wanted to physically remove the drive from a USB drive and replace it with your internal drive in the event of a hard disk failure, then the bootable copy should work. It's the lack of some macs to be able to boot from USB, not the contents of the SuperDuper copy that prevent the booting.
