an error occured while pre-scanning...

[lawuun]

Hi, I've just buyed superduper!, registered and made my first system backup.
At the end of 2 hours duplicating time there's the message "an error occured while pre-scanning (save destination) to support fastblock copy restore" - the program stops and there's not a kb in the destination folder.
Tried it several times with same result.
I'm using OSX 10.3.9 on a G5 2x2 machine.
Please help me out of this problem.
Thanks for your support.
Best regards

Hi, lawuun. It seems that the conversion to DMG is failing due to some problem in hdiutil; we've listed a known bug in 10.3.9 in the FAQ that's likely what you're running into, as well as a workaround. (Choose "Frequently Asked Questions" from your Help menu to access them.)

If that doesn't help, please send your SuperDuper!.log into support so I can analyze it.

Thanks!

Thanks Dave - the workaround with the sparseimage worked well!
