Thanks Paul, and That's not much of a snag in my opinion either.

Hi Phil,
I only Have a single external disk drive which both time machine and
SuperDuper! share. There is only a single partition on that external disk.
In smart update mode SuperDuper! uses the time machine backup to minimise
the SuperDuper! update activity. In my case SuperDuper! takes about one
hour to do its smart update. I have a 320 GB hard disk in my iMac and I
use a 1000 GB external hard disk for the time machine and SuperDuper!
backups. If necessary I can boot my iMac from the external hard disk.
The only snag is that you have to use the paid version of SuperDuper! to
get the smart update function. However it is well worth the money.
Hope that helps...

Hi Paul,
Just one question, do you have the external drive partitioned one each
for superduper and one for Time Machine? Is that necessary? I thought I
read or heard that TM and SuperDuper both assume the entire disk or disk
partition is theirs and theirs alone.

Hello,
I use SuperDuper! in smart update mode and also time machine all using
the same external hard disk. I do find time machine very useful for
recovering mail items long ago deleted but which refer to some now
current item. Time machine does frequent very efficient backups enabling
you to recover a file you accidentally deleted a few hours ago and which
is no longer in the trash as you also recently emptied that! . I then
only do SuperDuper! backups approximately one a month or following major
system upgrades such as a new ML release. They do work together very
well and SuperDuper! really does work as I recently had to recover my ML
system from the SuperDuper! backup.
Best regards....

Yes, but it really would be a little pointless. Super Duper! is a
total backup solution. Time Machine is a shadow or synchronous backup
solution. So they are two different species. They do two different
types of backup. Where they would work well together is in a situation
where you registered Super Duper! and then you have access to the
"Smart Updates" functionality of Super Duper!. In that type of
scenario, you'd be able to get the best out of both of them if you
configure them right.
But to be honest, I really think that if you're looking at a backup
solution to use Super Duper, I would personally advise you to forget
about Tie machine, and just make sure you have a regular strategic
backup routine. I hope that helps.

Thanks Gordon, that was helpful. I just downloaded SuperDuper and will
look it over. Question: Can I use SuperDuper and Time Machine side by
side on a single external drive? Would I need a seperate partition for
each? I'm looking at a 2 terabyte firewire drive from IOMega for backup
purposes. My internal Mac HD is 500GB. do you have a favorite drive or
a recommendation for a good external backup drive? Reliability being
the watch word of course.
