Ever wondered what would happen if the disk in your Mac suddenly died?

There is a great utility out there for very little money that will take care of this.

It's called SuperDuper. It's available from a company called Shirt Pocket here

You can use the free trial copy of the product right away but I would recommend digging into your pocket to enable all the great features like scheduling and smart updates.

Using the product couldn't be easier - in it's simplest form all you need is a firewire disk, which can be purchased at our online store at www.youritsupplier.co.uk (Remember to choose a disk with firewire!), and a copy of superduper.

Just choose your source disk and new destination disk and SuperDuper does the rest.

So what happens if the disk in your Mac fails? Take your newly created external bootable disk and startup your Mac with the Alt key held down. You will get a list of available disks to boot from. Choose your new disk and you are up and running.

You can even use SuperDuper to transfer the disk contents back to your primaary disk once you have replaced it.
