macOS Sequoia 15.3 Fixes SuperDuper Bootable Backups Bug

Quick Summary:

Apple's latest macOS Sequoia 15.3 update appears to have resolved a bug that prevented popular backup utility SuperDuper from creating bootable backups, according to developer Dave Nanian.

The fix addresses an issue introduced in macOS 15.2 that caused SuperDuper to fail during the final stages of creating bootable backups due to a "Resource Busy" error when attempting to copy system preboot or recovery files.

When these tools malfunctioned in macOS 15.2, it directly impacted SuperDuper's ability to create bootable backups."macOS 15.3 is now out, and with it, a fix for the broken replicator," Nanian wrote on his Shirt Pocket Watch blog.
