I really dislike SuperDuper's practice of rewriting my cron table entries with tab delimiters when you use it for scheduled backups. So I stopped using it for regular backups. Time Machine lets me recover individual files on an ad hock basis, or do entire system restores if needed. And since I can tell Time Machine to backup to multiple destinations (I think that is a recently-added feature - perhaps in 10.7 or 10.8), and I have Time Machine backup everything to sparse disk image bundles, I don't feel as much of a need to use a second utility. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter.
