Out of disk space
One use that I make of SuperDuper! is to maintain an exact clone of my laptop's internal drive. The clone is the same size, because it's an identical model disk. In the event of a disk failure, I...

I realize time passes after I back up, and I'm not worried about my user files. As you say, I understand them.
