SuperDuper! is designed to clone volumes and does a very good job. SK is
designed to back up volumes and does a good job; cloning volumes is not its
strong suite.

Or at least that was how it was back when I was using it. I dropped it when
Leo arrived, and I used Time Machine instead.

SilverKeeper is a piece of LaCie software that has been around since way
back in the '90ties. I used to use it a lot, but at that time it could
not make bootalbe clones, so I bought the Synchronize! Pro instead. The
newer versions of SK can make bootable backups/clones. The version I'm
using right now is the latest ver. 2.0.2...

Cheers, Erik Richard

Just tried Word 2004 from my SuperDuper created bootable clone from a
Seagate external drive; runs fine (still sucks though).

Yep: You can get lucky :-) SuperDuper and CC Cloner have a pretty good
track record.

But if you try it, and it DOESN'T work, there is not much we can do other
than say "Well, don't do that, then" :-)

Cheers

Yes, neither Word X 10.x or Word 2004 make this kind of non-working
behavior. - It's only MSO2008 that sucks and only after the update to
12.2.3...
