Start a bootable clone backup with SuperDuper!
Download and install SuperDuper! from www.shirt-pocket.com. It’s free to create your first bootable clone without activating it (but well worth the $30 if you plan to continue using it).
- Select your computer’s internal hard drive (usually Macintosh HD) in the left drop down menu labeled “Copy.”
- Select your newly created backup hard drive in the right drop down menu labeled “to.”
- Start the backup by pressing Copy Now.
