SuperDuper!
Copy your whole Mac to an external drive
The verdict
Plug in an external drive and get an exact copy of your entire Mac on it, ready to restore after a dead drive or a stolen laptop. Full copies are free, and $43.95 once adds Smart Update, which copies only what changed, plus backups that start when the drive connects. Time Machine keeps hourly file history for free, so treat this as the whole-disk copy you keep beside it.
Get it if
You want a full spare copy of your Mac on a drive in the drawer, next to Time Machine.
Skip it if
You just want to roll back a file from last Tuesday; Time Machine does that and comes with macOS.
