Hello Ramy, I strongly recommend against using a 64 GB USB flash drive to make a Superduper backup. The drive is simply too slow in order to be used to boot your Mac. It can be done, however, the boot up process would take over 20 minutes or so. Also, even after the OS was up and running, it would take up to 10 minutes for anything to happen, such as opening an application such as Mail.
Purchase a Thunderbolt or USB 3 128GB or higher, spinning drive for your Superduper backups. Good luck, Mark -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Ramy Moustafa Sent: Saturday, May 05, 2018 5:33 AM To: mac mailing list Subject: Using 64 flash drive to make super duper back-up Hi all: I need to buy a flahs drive to use it to make a super Duper backup for my clean system. can i use a 64 USB flash drive? my system now is only 40 GB with my needs. thanks in advance -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
