Restart SuperDuper backup?

[brobson]

I started cloning my backup harddrive yesterday. Its about halfway done and I started moving files around this morning on the original. Not smart I realized.
Should I start the whole process again?

I think to have a reliable clone you would have to start again - but what a long time the cloning is taking. Are you already having serious problems?

If SD gives you the option of cancelling out, I'd stop, and just "restart the backup".

Should be no problems with doing that.

In theory if superduper is using APFS snapshots then it would ensure that the copy is as of a single point in time.

It's not clear if the default behavior when making a copy is to do it off of an apfs snapshot though. I would email creators and ask.
