Hi Scot,
From what I've been reading Intel macs can back up and boot from a
USB drive but not sure how to get this to work

Will super dooper also work with uSB external drives
As far as I know, SuperDuper will work with anything that can be
mounted as a volume on your hard disk. It can even use a sparse
disk image. HOwever, if you want the "bootable" feature, you need
to pick something that can be used as the startup disk. In most
Macs, this is only firewire. I personally use a USB drive to
backup a MacBook, and a firewire to backup a PowerMac G5, and a
network drive with a sparse disk image to backup a G4 tower.
If you wanted to physically remove the drive from a USB drive and
replace it with your internal drive in the event of a hard disk
failure, then the bootable copy should work. It's the lack of some
macs to be able to boot from USB, not the contents of the
SuperDuper copy that prevent the booting.
