I read on the SuperDuper website that there will be the option to save a backup as a disk image. What does that mean and what is the advantage or disadvantage for going that way? Thanks.

Your hard disk would have to be, at an absolute minimum, twice as big as the amount of space you are using on your internal disk if you want to use both.
