And what could make it more official than a press release and a download?
Press Release
Shirt Pocket is happy to announce that SuperDuper 2.5 is now available as a free update for all users. The new version includes full Leopard support, including the ability to store a bootable backup side-by-side with a Time Machine backup on a single volume, and the ability to copy Time Machine archives to other drives for backup purposes or to move to a larger drive without losing history.
In addition, version 2.5 improves many aspects of our 2005 and 2006 Macworld Eddy-award winning application, including improved Spotlight handling, a "Run Now" feature for scheduled copies, icon preservation for destination volumes and various performance improvements.
"What more appropriate day to release a terrific new version than SuperDuper Tuesday? We're really happy with the way version 2.5 works with Leopard", said David Nanian, owner of Shirt Pocket, in his standard stump speech. "Our new feature set is great on its own, plus it's an excellent complement to Time Machine, adding the ability to have a bootable backup alongside your Time Machine archive -- and we've done all this without any increase in complexity. With SuperDuper!, recovery from a disk crash is just a matter of rebooting from the backup!"
Of course, SuperDuper 2.5 still has all the capabilities SuperDuper! is famous for, including: the ability to easily schedule backups; additional imaging options; more control over shutdown; better AppleScript support; hundreds of UI improvements; Growl support; and a readable, complete, task-based User's Guide.
SuperDuper supports both Intel and Power PC Macs running Mac OS X 10.4 or later, and is a free update for existing users. The unregistered version will perform full backups for free. Registration costs $27.95, and includes many additional timesaving features, including Smart Update for faster backups, Scheduling, and others.

About Shirt Pocket
Shirt Pocket, based in Weston, Massachusetts, was formed in late 2000 as a Macintosh-only shareware creator and publisher. Shirt Pocket's first product, the 2004 Eddy Award winning netTunes, lets customers control iTunes on one Mac from any other Mac on the network with iTunes own intuitive user interface. launchTunes, Shirt Pocket's second product, made iTunes' playlist sharing practical by automatically launching iTunes on remote servers when needed. SuperDuper!, the 2005 and 2006 Eddy Award winning disk copying program that allows mere mortals to back up and restore their systems accurately and confidently, was released in January 2004.
Shirt Pocket was started by David Nanian, co-founder of UnderWare, Inc, and one of the original authors of the BRIEF programmer's editor and Track Record bug tracking system.
