More detail under ¡°You¡¯re a mean one¡± on the SuperDuper blog:
There is a very interesting article about this in TidBits:
It¡¯s Time to Move On from Bootable Backups
It¡¯s not just SuperDuper!, it¡¯s all software that makes bootable clone backups.
However, this doesn¡¯t mean that you can¡¯t make a bootable clone backup, it just means that you can¡¯t do it simply by running a program such as SuperDuper! You can still create a bootable backup by using Apple¡¯s OS Installer program to put a bootable copy of the OS on your external backup drive. From then on you can simply use your utility (such as SuperDuper!) to do a data-partition only backup.
