About SuperDuper!
SuperDuper! copies a Mac's startup disk to another drive, usually an external one, and makes the copy bootable. If the main disk fails, you can start the Mac from the backup and carry on working or restore from it. It works with both APFS and HFS+ volumes and runs natively on Apple silicon and Intel Macs.
Shirt Pocket offers SuperDuper! 4 for macOS Sonoma and later, and the Classic edition (3.12) for macOS High Sierra onward, with older versions still available for older systems.
