SuperDuper! makes backup copies of Mac drives, folders and files, with mixed backup and restore modes. It can create bootable copies on supported configurations, although a copy can still be restored when it is not bootable. Copy jobs are described through plain-English sentences. Smart Update copies new or changed files and removes items no longer on the source, while scheduled copies can run with the app closed or when nobody is logged in. Destinations include SMB, AFP and NFS network shares, and the app can connect to a share when a copy begins. macOS Shortcuts can run before or after a copy, or when one fails. SuperDuper! 4 is a native app for macOS 14 or later on Apple silicon or Intel, not an iPhone or iPad app. Unregistered use has no time limit and supports Erase, then copy backups; registration enables Smart Update, scheduling and network destinations. The paid license is listed at $43.95 a month, billed not a subscription.
