That’s the beauty of Time Machine- you can go back in time and pick a version of a file at various points in time. ![]() SuperDuper (and I presume Carbon Copy Cloner) doesn’t keep snapshot backups though – there is only 1 copy of each file (although you can browse your SuperDuper drive in the Finder, which is nice). It was a really quick fix to get the Mac back into working order. I booted from my SuperDuper backup, and then simply overwrote my main drive with the SuperDuper drive, since the SuperDuper backup had run the night before. I had an instance with my iMac where a program kept writing files to the drive, and filled up my drive so it wouldn’t boot. You could actually then work from that drive, as if you were using your main drive. You can boot from that clone if you would need to (such as if your main drive died) by holding down the Option key during boot, and selecting the backup drive. SuperDuper and Carbon Copy Cloner both make exact clones of your hard drive. ![]() It is good for retrieving individual files. It doesn’t create any sort of bootable backup drive, though.
