One of the first things I sought out for my new computer was a reliable backup software. After a lot of online and print research there seemed to be a lot of fanfare for SuperDuper. In fact, MacWorld rated it very highly as one of the best choices in backing up Mac.
One of the things that first surprised me about SuperDuper was its overall ease of use. When you start the software, you are actually walked through the backup process step-by-step. Every task choice comes complete with an explanation of what the software is going to do. Even a complete novice would have no difficulty performing their first backup.
