One strategy is doing what's suggested in the User's Guide: keep what you need to install, and when you're at a stable point, boot back to the main volume, install it, update the Sandbox, and boot back.

Alternatively, you can "clone back". To do so, while booted from the Sandbox:

- First, back up the original drive in case you make a mistake.
- Select the Sandbox as the source volume, and the original drive as the destination.
- Choose "Backup - all files" as the script
- Choose "Smart Update" as the "During copy" method. You MUST choose "Smart Update" for this to work properly. And, whatever you do, DO NOT choose "Erase, then copy".
- Perform the copy.

This will update the OS and applications, but will not overwrite anything that was shared by SuperDuper!

We don't document this because of the caveats -- you have to be careful/mindful when you perform this operation, or you could mess up. Please, make sure you don't!
