I downloaded Superduper 2.something which I think is the one for os 10.3.9. (Their site only refers to the animal names which I have never got straight.) I have tried running it several times and it fails. The firewire drive I am sending it to is fat32. Is that going to be a problem? I have it formatted that way since it is usb/firewire and I can also back up my pc with vmware disk image. Wonder if that is why dmg creation fails? And can I boot from fat32 drive?
