SuperDuper Backup on USB Flash Drive

Hi all,

I currently run Mac OS X 10.4.10 on my MacBook Pro. I'm thinking of getting SuperDuper to do scheduled backups of my files. I've read good reviews of the program on the web.

Can SuperDuper backup my files directly to a USB flash drive? Since I'm a web design student I carry around a lot of heavy books and want the smallest external storage device I can carry. I have an external hard drive at home that I can transfer my backup files to when I get home from school. I'm a newbie to Macs (and so far it's been wonderful).

Thank you!

Providing your USB flash drive has the necessary capacity SuperDuper will do the job just fine.
Just a note though, for anything other then a total system clone, such as selected data, I believe you'll have to invest in a licensed copy.

I have been using the unlicensed copy now for a few months to back up my entire HD to an eternal FireWire. Actually today I am going to spend the money, this program is worth the $30, and I need the incremental backups and multiple locations and schedules. Not 100% sure how well it is going to work for backing up to an FTP site or WebDAV folder, but even if it doesn't work it will still be worth it.
