Superduper is a MacOS application that allows users to recover from nearly any source of disk failure. For users, Superduper makes crafting a fully bootable backup state frustration-free: it's easy to use, install, and features a built-in backup scheduler so that users don't have to think twice.

Whether your computer has faced physical damage or the newest update has caused some apps to crash, Superduper helps users recover from any fail state. Users don't have to fear that they'll lose a stable copy of the operating system and all disk contents.

Unlike other disk copying software, Superduper is easy for even the least computer-oriented person to understand. More experienced users will benefit from a wide array of advanced options that allows very specific disk operations. Less experienced users will benefit the painless set up and back up processes.

No matter the task, Superduper is very speedy. Superduper features a Smart Update system that seamlessly evaluates thousands of files, directories, and more in mere minutes. Superduper constructs an internal representation of the computer's file system by crafting a tree structure starting at the root.

Users have the ability to duplicate their boot drive to another drive, partition their disk, mount an image file, or more. It's simple to update existing clones of the latest data to an old disk image - moreover, every backup file has saved iterations, meaning that it's simple to revert to old safe states after disk failure. Clones are automatically updated to match any changed attributes in the original drive, including custom icons, HFS+ attributes, ownership changes, and more.

Unfortunately, Superduper isn't free; however, it is available a low cost, one time fee. Free users are able to clone as frequently as they like, but they'll lack access to all the advanced features that make Superduper worthwhile.
