Hi Paul, Just one question, do you have the external drive partitioned one each for superduper and one for Time Machine? Is that necessary? I thought I read or heard that TM and SuperDuper both assume the entire disk or disk partition is theirs and theirs alone. - Original Message -

Hi Paul Yes, this is what I was saying about the Smart Update functionality of Super Duper! It's a great way of working and, yes, you can use it with Time Machine in this mode. The problem comes where you have somebody who doesn't want to register Super Duper! and, accordingly, the Smart Upda

No you can recover everything. the time machine in the command r option recovers basically the OS so if you messed up some ware or blew something up you can recover the OS. and it will all work the same again before the mistake. To recover documents you can do that with in the os itself using t

Yes, but it really would be a little pointless. Super Duper! is a total backup solution. Time Machine is a shadow or synchronous backup solution. So they are two different species. They do two different types of backup. Where they would work well together is in a situation where you registe

Amy If you look int the DVD Remaster package, there is a little utility called "Faremount". Put that in your applications folder and run it when you run DVD Remaster. That will allow DVD Remaster to talk to VLC and it will handle your encrypted videos. Good luck. Gordon On 28 Aug 2012, at
