I do not know. It was so corrupted that it could not sync with Apple  
TV, gave a blocked port 3689 message. Apple technical support  
escalated it all the way to Cupertino, and they advised me that this

Actually I have a clone with SuperDuper! -- I agree that it is a  
wonderful program. Except that if I copy it back I loose all the
