The strangest Thing just happened on the Way to Backup
I have used the latest version of SuperDuper! for Backups for some weeks now. Today, when I connected my external FireWire hard drive for a backup after about 10 days without a backup, I could not select my regular backup volume as it was grayed out. Using the 'Option'-key did not make a difference.
- My external hard drive is split up into three volumes - I do have all read & write-permissions on the volume - I copied files to the volume in question - I stopped and started SuperDuper!, selected a different volume, stopped and started SuperDuper!, rebooted my Mac a few times - no difference - I used DiskUtility to erase one of the other volumes and performed a perfect backup to this volume - I ejected all volumes of the external hard drive, yet the earlier volume containing SuperDuper! did not respond to being ejected. - I rebooted my Mac and found that I could now perform any kind of backup to the volume that was grayed out before. Strange, isn't it? |
Very. What that implies is that you were actually running from the drive that was greyed out...

Yet, I could select my source volume as the target volume... Problem may be on my side. I'll just take some screen-shots whenever something unusal happens and publish whatever log files you need. |
You could have both the source and the destination be the same volume? I can't see how that could happen...

If SuperDuper! writes log-files I'd be more than happy to send them to you. Thanks, Dave, your support is outstanding. |
It does write log files. If this was a manual backup, choose Window > Show Log and click "Send to shirt pocket".
If it was a scheduled backup, select the schedule in the Scheduled Copies window (Window > Scheduled Copies), click Show Log and do the same. |
