Great product and superior support.
It wasn't working in the morning and I sent in an error report. When I got home that same night I had a complete solution to the problem.
The support in itself is worth the price.

Has some nice features, but unfortunately is slow as molasses. Taking a full backup of my MacBook Pro onto a new WD USB MyBook before Leopard installation, Finder took 20 mins or so for 30 GB of audio, but in two hours Superduper only managed 6GB of my home dir. I then gave up and used tar. Now Time Machine is zipping along in the background, having copied 9 GB in about 10 mins. Prior backups to Firewire disks have also taken the better part of a day, so this is definitely a sub-performer.

geira, SuperDuper does far more than a simple file copy. I use a Firewire WD MyBook Pro and a smart backup takes around 30 minutes, and a full backup every so often takes a few of hours.

When Leopard came out, I tried to replace SuperDuper with Time Machine as my main backup solution. Time Machine is much faster than SuperDuper's Smart backup, but it does not work transparently; it excludes many large files that would slow it down considerably (VMWare virtual machines are an example), and furthermore, it does not support backing up to anything but a disk or network partition. I like to backup to encrypted disk images, so I went back to SuperDuper.

I suspect that a future version of SuperDuper will interface with fseventsd, like Time Machine, and that this will speed up Smart Backups by orders of magnitude. I would gladly pay for a new version when that happens.

Powerful and quite simple. An always unbeatable combination.

I usually just use automator to batch rename files, but since this is free I might check it out.

There is a significant amount of chaff in this collection to sort through, but there are some good choices within XScreenSaver.
