superduper discount coupon

Unfortunately no on the SuperDuper coupon, but a lot of people consider the free Carbon Copy Cloner to do just as good a job on cloning drives. I use both Carbon Copy Cloner as well as the registered verison of SuperDuper and really don't have a preference for one over the other to be honest.
From what I remember (I use Time Machine now) SuperDuper has the ability to save only changes once the first backup is done. That saves a LOT of time.
this is mainly the reason I want to use it for. CCC is fines but takes forever. You can use SuperDuper to make daily bootable backups much faster.
I emailed the developers and they do not even offer educational discounts. Anyway. Maybe I will have to pay full price.

OK, good luck to you- hope you find a discount!
I honestly don't understand since I use them both and they both do incremental backups (as I mentioned above) of only added/changed files. Because of that, daily backups (which I do on 3Tb worth of drive space onto two backups- one SuperDuper set and one CCC set because I am paranoid about data loss!
) are virtually identical time-wise.Carbon Copy Cloner calls the process "Incremental Backup", while SuperDuper calls it "Smart Backup".To the OP...
You only have to pay the $28 license fee once: I bought it years ago and still get free updates. The quickness of the Smart Update feature saved all my data once upon a time when my hard drive was on the ropes. It's one of the best software deals out there.
