No Barry, DON'T have a tick in this, I only asked IF you did. You want Ownership enabled for a bootable backup clone. "Ignore ownership on this volume" Checking it means to ignore.
By default an external drive -- when it first gets attached to a system -- usually has this box checked. This is because Apple anticipated that a user would bring a drive to a different system, and -- since the files might be owned by a different user than the one who connected the drive -- they should make them accessible by default. Backups, on the other hand, are different. We're not trying to make the files "accessible to foreign systems", we're trying to make them exactly the same as the source. Without ownership on*(unchecked), that's not possible to do. SuperDuper disables this when it does a clone anyway, so should not be a problem. I have to rush to a medical appointment now so won't be available for some time.
