Hello, I am just starting to look at catalina, and will probably read the Take
Control book before I upgrade, especially since I have migrated parts of my
system since OS 9 days. That being said, I did hear on the that SuperDuper
does not yet work with Catalina. I am not sure of the details, but the newer OS
does mount some files as read only, as an extra step in protecting core system
integrity. Another feature that can cause issues for backup software is in
environments where a computer is being used for both personal and work related
items. Catalina has the ability to have a home directory where parts are
managed by a corporate MDM server and parts are indicated as local to the user.
So for example if your Office 365 files are owned by the MDM / work license,
they will be on a separate partition with its own encryption key that is shared
between you and the company. If the company decides to disable your access they
can only remove the MDM controlled disk partition and licenses not your
personal files. I am probably not describing all this very well, but it is
designed to allow a computer to have both corporate and personal security to
co-exist on a single machine.
Best wishes,
Jonathan Cohn
