Super Duper El Capitan

Really nice blog post from SuperDuper developer Dave Nanian about how El Capitan’s new security measures impacted his product:

This time, the current version of SuperDuper is dead in the water on El Capitan. It just won’t work. But don’t dismay: we’ve worked to change that. I’m happy to say, to those of you who are on the Beta (and those who are going to join the public beta today), we’ve developed and tested a Beta version of SuperDuper that makes bootable copies of El Capitan. There’s a link to download it at the end of this post.

Super Duper does not clone the Recovery partition, which means that the external El Capitan Super Duper clone would not have the El Capitan Recovery partition to clone back to the internal drive. CCC will support cloning the Recovery partition if it is available. Operating with its mix of gleaming Hi-Level and conventional lightweight cars, the combined Super Chief / El Capitan was a sight to behold roaring through dreary winter landscapes. Like the prototype, all the signature cars assigned to the combined train - including the all-new 11 Double-Bedroom sleeper - are now available to model this amazing streamliner!

But please don’t skip down there. Keep reading.

Don’t let Dave down! Keep reading. It’s an interesting view into how Apple is pushing OS X forward and how developers have to figure out new ways of doing things.
