After a long hard journey through months of coding and testing, Shirt Pocket has finally mastered Leopard’s changes and added some sweet new features to make this $30 archive utility something worthy of a Must Have on any Macintosh HD. SuperDuper! 2.5 (Build 84) not only backs up your existing hard drive to a bootable archive, but it also lives side-by-side Apple’s archiving utility, Time Machine. The release notes also specify that, “You can now store a bootable backup side-by-side with a Time Machine backup on a single volume.” Further, you can now copy Time Machine backup volumes to other drives as well as being able to execute scheduled tasks immediately with the “Run Now” button. Other changes include Exposé, Time Machine, Spaces and Front Row are added to the Leopard Sandboxes as well as the ability to ignore Google Desktop Index files.

All in all, this is a long anticipated update and we here at SvenOnTech highly recommend it for those looking for a simple, easy, and robust archiving utility that will work in conjunction with Time Machine.
