SuperDuper and The new Mactels
Dave,
Do you know if the new Intel-chipped iMac (for example) will allow users to start/re-start with Option Key (into open firmware) to select a bootable external or internal cloned backup volume? I'd be highly disappointed if this functionality went away with the migration to Intel chips. |
Option-boot is still there, but SuperDuper! cloned volumes won't work until we release an Intel-compatibile build... the disk formats are quite different.

Do you have a timeframe for releasing a 'universal' SuperDuper build? I find your app indispensable for my home office....thanks! |
That's absolutely right. You would NOT way to try to boot an Intel machine from a non-Intel mac: the partitioning scheme is different.
We don't have an official timeframe for the Universal build, but we're working on it... it'll be a free update for all users. |
I'll be very interested in updating our copies to the universal build myself once that's out. I find SD! to be the best tool for cloning systems, and I'm going to be doing a whole lot of cloning in just a few weeks for new iMacs that our company will be ordering.
I hope I'll be able to use SuperDuper when the time comes. I would hate to have to set up all those new systems separately. Oh, and thanks for making such an indispensable application. |
Thanks, mm2270. I'm looking forward to seeing the production hardware myself! :)
