Backup failed

[Handyman]

I've been doing smart copy backups for quite some time with SD. Tonight, the backup failed. The following errors were found at the end of the log file. Can anyone help?

Try repairing the source volume (after starting up from your OSX install disc).

Thanks. After I repaired the disk, the backup finished normally.

I had repaired the disk in the past, just as a precaution, but never by starting up from the install disc. Not sure if that was the deciding factor, as the SD error was new, but it definately worked. Thanks again.
