Well, that took longer than we though it would, mostly because we wanted to make sure we got very broad external testing coverage before release (extremely important when we make changes to the copy engine), but I'm happy to say that SuperDuper! v2.7.2 is now available.

To summarize the changes made:

  • Full Mavericks support, including the return of auto-mount and auto-eject for scheduled copies.
  • Scheduling has transitioned to launchd from cron
  • New volume size information available in the source and destination pop-ups
  • New volume information tooltips for the source and destination pop-up lists
  • Warning in the "What's going to happen?" section of the UI when the source drive has significantly more data than the capacity of the destination
  • Improvements to "Backup on connect" to help with a launchd bug in "WatchPaths"
  • Works around a problem in Mavericks with Spotlight handling (where mdsutil can't talk to mds and returns IPC errors)
  • Improvements around prebinding (only done when strictly necessary)
  • Elimination of the rare "Copy Job" unclickable dialog
  • Smart Update speed improvements
  • Scheduled Copies window will re-open on launch if open on quit again on 10.8+
  • Applescript launch no longer loads default settings on 10.8+
  • Large EAs no longer return "result too large" errors
  • Scheduled copies no longer generate annoying and incorrect "controlling your computer" security prompts
  • Now requires OS X 10.6 or later (but 2.7.1 still available for those using 10.4 and 10.5)
  • Various other optimizations, changes, and things I've forgotten because I am old and broken

Thanks for your patience as we've worked to get the release out, and enjoy the new and improved features!
