SuperDuper question...

Hi guys

You've all been very helpful in my last post! thanks!

So, here I am... I downloaded and installed the free version of SuperDuper... less features... no scheluded back ups... no problem, I really fancied it! GREAT!

I am here writing some scripts, on how to exclude some folders from OS back up... I save my work files on a different external HD, as I am always changing them, and there's no reason to be updating my system everytime I have to work on a file.

I only want to be safe whenever Apple releases a new system update... no need to be backing up my OS all the time.

And as I said on my last post, I am using my Mac mini HD as a bootable HD for my iMac... this way I want to create a partition that saves only the OS files with all my design and animation Apps. And I'd take care of my files on another HD.


My question now!!!!


Ok, if I back up my entire system, excluding, let's say, the Pictures folder and one day I have a problem and I need to boot and clone my iMac back ... would I keep the Pictures folder I have now untouched ( considering I excluded it from being copied before ) and just restore the files that are on the iMac clone?... or will it wipe off my iMac completely and bring back a blank Pictures folder... ?


Am I being clear? : )

Cheers guys
