Scheduled backups fail after system disk restore

Running 10.4.11and SD v2.6.4:
A couple weeks ago the Finder somehow got trashed (I think that's what it was) -- system would start up but user logins hung with the menu bar only partly populated. I booted to my previous night's system disk backup and restored (via SuperDuper "backup all files" ... I think) and then things seemed fine. However, I noticed after a week or so that the scheduled nightly backups had then stopped running. I tried the following (still failing after each step):
• check the license info; it was fine.
• re"install", i.e., copy the app to the Applications folder again
• change the scheduled times
• Unscheduling them all and then scheduling them again
This finally worked. FWIW: before this last step, if I went directly to the Copy Job.app in the .sdsp (via Show Package Contents) and double-clicked on it, nothing would happen. After the last step, that would launch the backup (as expected).
So, I'm up and running but it was a weird happening which didn't seem to be documented anywhere.

That's certainly strange. I don't know why it would be, if the drives were the same.

One thing I forgot to mention: after the re"install", the first time I ran anything I got the prompt to authorize, which, per other posts, is not surprising since that bundle info would not be in the distributed install disk. However, is there any way that authorization info could have gotten screwed up by the reinstall? For example, does SD! do something subtle when restoring its own image from a backup?

Not really, no. We restore the data as faithfully as we can.
