Hi Stephen, Yes, SuperDuper 2.9.2 does have issues, they have not updated yet to compatibility with APFS. They are apparently working on a Beta SuperDuper! 3.0.2 B2 which eventually will be with APFS
For macOS, High Sierra automatically converts the system drive to APFS as part of the installation process. "New File System: HFS+ has been the organizing system behind our files and folders since 1998, when Apple released Mac OS 8.1. As of High Sierra, Apple replaces it with the Apple File System (APFS). Optimized for solid-state drive storage, APFS promises to make common tasks, like duplicating files, much faster. Apple also touts the new file system as having stronger encryption and im- proved crash protection for your data.” Only Macs that use solid state drives (SSD) exclusively will be converted to the new file system. The initial release of High Sierra does not support APFS on a Fusion drive, which contains both a hard disk drive (HDD) and an SSD. SuperDuper! website Shirt-Pocket website mention: v2.9.2 now available! The latest version of SuperDuper! is faster, better, compatible with macOS High Sierra HFS+ volumes <http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html> Have no fear. SuperDuper v2.9.2 is here, and it includes High Sierra HFS+ support! (For APFS, SuperDuper! 3.0 B2 is available see the the blog <http://www.shirt-pocket.com/blog/index.php/comments/can_you_dig_it/>.)
