Thanks for the clarification. What you say makes sense because when running SuperDuper under Catalina the sizes of the "system" and the "data" portions of the copy were shown properly.

I like the outcome here for SuperDuper options under Big Sur and Monterey. One need not update the "system" volume at all, so smart update simply updates the "data" part of the clone, unless one wants to update the system portion as well, in which case one does an erase and copy all. In fact since I am using SSDs now for the external backup drives, my erase and copy all only takes ~ 15 min (300 GB to be cloned), the smart update typically is 5-10 minutes, so the two approaches are both quite fast!
