   SuperDuper 2.7

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Updated for OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, Shirt Pocket has released version
   2.7 of its [1]SuperDuper drive-cloning and backup software with support
   for the Gatekeeper security feature. Additionally, the new release
   should start more quickly (even with unresponsive network volumes) and
   copy files faster, and it improves the copying of active files from
   apps that rapidly create and delete files during a backup (which could
   cause some files to intermittently vanish from a backup). The status
   window has been updated to show what's going on while larger files are
   being copied, diagnostics have been improved to more accurately return
   errors when drives can't be read or written to, and local Time Machine
   snapshots (.MobileBackups) are no longer copied to reduce backup
   failures. SuperDuper has also been updated to support the latest
   version of Growl (which also provides support for Mountain Lion's
   Notification Center). However, SuperDuper isn't 'fully compatible' with
   Mountain Lion, as Shirt Pocket notes in its [2]announcement blog post
   that it couldn't complete work for supporting the automatic mounting of
   local volumes in time for this release. SuperDuper 2.7 requires OS X
   10.4.11 or later (which means it still supports both Intel- and Power
   PC-based Macs). (Free for basic functionality, $27.95 for additional
   features, free update, 3.2 MB)
