Backup Stalled-What to Do?

[JLJ]

First off, I am a very new Mac user, so bear with me.

I am using SuperDuper! to backup my MacBook Pro to my external LaCie HD. So far, no problems in the month or so I've been using it. Everything smooth.

Now, I'm trying to backup, and the process that would normally take about 8 minutes has taken almost 40, with no movement on progress since about 12 minutes in.

What do I do next?

Drop me a note to the support email address, JLJ and I'll provide you with a command that'll help determine what's going on.

Most recent one looked awesome, but it's stuck at almost being done.

Is there anything specific I could have done that would explain it bogging down like this?

It's hard to say; drop me a support note, eh?
