SuperDuper vs CCC Question
_Abridged version_:
Time machine is good at only updating files that need to be changed. CCC finds MBs of random files (.lprojs etcetera) and takes a long time to update my external. Will SuperDuper! act like TimeMachine giving me a bootable clone nice and fast like or do all of the CCC files really need updating?
_Unabridged version_:
Bootcamp can't partition my drive because some files on it are immovable. As you all probably know, its asking me to backup and recopy everything so it can partition, which is OK. I've been using Time Machine alone for quite some time now which has been great but I can't restore to its latest backup and I'd like this process to be as seamless as possible, which begs the question...SuperDuper vs CCC.
CCC being free I've used it for quite some time in the past but, if it has fully updated my external and I finish working on one single Text file and re-sync, it'll find MBs of other files that also need updating. Garageband .lproj files and the like. Time Machine on the other hand will just copy the one file that has been changed, but isn't immediately restorable from that period of time. Will SuperDuper! combine these two methods, copying only the actual files that need updating and allowing me to restore immediately if the need arose?
Sorry for the long-read, hopefully you saw the abridged version at the top and aren't upset at me.
Thanks in advance,
Michael
