SUPERDUPER MAC OS X UPDATE
You should visit Shirt Pocket Software's website and download the latest version of SuperDuper! IT has had an update or two since 2010. You can simply enter your admin password any time you use SuperDuper!
You do not have unlock the little padlock icon. This allows the program to operate without asking you for your admin password every time you use it.
SUPERDUPER MAC OS X INSTALL
Everything looks good except when I tried to install an update of a software that I own, it will only install it on the original mac HD because it is running OS X. The little padlock you speak of asks for your admin password when you click it. I just purchased the Superduper and I just did a copy (all files) of my mac HD to my new Hitachi 2 TB HD (internal).
SUPERDUPER MAC OS X TRIAL
SuperDuper! is shareware and what you have is probably a trial version. If you bought it separately then Best Buy is pulling the wool over you eyes. If it came with an Apricorn product they probably have an agreement with the makers of SuperDuper! (Shirt Pocket Software) to include SuperDuper! with their hard drives. It is simply the best there is in its category. I have personally used it for many years.
SUPERDUPER MAC OS X FOR MAC OS
Did you buy a hard drive and this software was included? SuperDuper! is the premier hard drive cloning/backup software for Mac OS X. If you Google "Apricorn" you will find that it is a maker of storage products like hard drives. As I said, we never even really know what it is, since it's all handled by the authentication framework in OSX itself.
I wasn't really worried that SD! was stealing my admin password, just that by leaving the padlock open that SD! might be tossing my password around in clear text.Īfter some googling, I think I understand the suid concept. Your password is only used to *authorize* this action: it's just like unlocking a preference pane (like Sharing). Instead, a single application on the drive was given System permissions. Your password was not written to disk, nor was it ever recorded or seen by SuperDuper!, actually. I guess I will re-lock the padlock and hope that my admin password wasn't ever written to disk. We authenticate our copying tool the same way the system does (with "suid"). I has assumed that it was kept in the Keychain, but I was surprised to see that SD! stays unlocked no matter which account we are logged in to. Where/how does SD! store our admin password when we have the 'padlock' unlocked? The thread is several years old, but is likely still valid. Dave Nanian is the developer of SuperDuper. I had assumed that SuperDuper does this by storing the password somewhere, which would raise security concerns, but I then found this interesting thread in the SuperDuper support forum. Carbon Copy Cloner asks you for your admin password each time you run it SuperDuper offers an option to "remember" the authentication between runs via "opening the padlock". So its normal for such backup programs to require password authentication to gain "root" privileges. The backups get little actual use, and while drives go stale on the shelf too, my experience is that this allows me to avoid most long term problems.Clone programs such as SuperDuper and Carbon Copy Cloner need to run with heightened (root) privileges because they need to copy "everything," and some items on a startup disk have restricted permissions such that a normal admin account can't access them. Three years is when most drives experience a rise in unreliability. That way, I continually replace drives with bigger ones over time, while ridding myself of older drives every three years. When time comes, every three years, to replace those internals with new ones, I clone a newer, faster, and large drive with SuperDuper, and put the backup drives as the primary drive in the machine. When I do use any of them, I do an incremental backup using SuperDuper. Since I don't use what's in each drive on a regular basis, I don't use Time Machine for them. These are all large drives, and the way they're organized, I have backups for each drive. But I have a number of internal drives in my 2009 Mac Pro.
SUPERDUPER MAC OS X PRO
I also use it on my Macbook Pro music server, and its external music library. Now-a-days, I use Time Machine to back all my start-up drives. SuperDuper has never had any problems that affected the clones, or incremental backups. While I have used the others for several years, both had some occasional problem or other that could prevent your clone from booting. Over the years, I've used the other two programs.
