When it comes to creating backups, Mac users are spoiled for choice. Only a few backup applications can create bootable copies of your startup drive, though; SuperDuper is one of them. It also offers many standard backup features.
If you’re having trouble deciding which backup software to get for your Mac, check out the Focus on Macs review of SuperDuper.
My 5-year-old eMac started acting up a bit a few weeks ago, so, just bought my first external hard drive and started the practice of “backing up.” Having never done it before, I can STRONGLY encourage Super Duper, who made this process SO EASY!
