Smart Update -- "No Space Left on Device"
I use SuperDuper to backup my internal hard drive every morning.
My internal has 110 gb of data and a capacity of 149 gb The partition on the external to which I back up has the same capacity and all it is used for in the daily backup of the internal -- no other files. But today I got the "No Space Left on Device" message. Any ideas? I assume there are some temp files or some such at play. I can increase the size of the partition if needed -- would that help? I'm using SuperDuper 2.5 (v84) on a G5 iMac running OSX 10.4.11 Any advice would be great. Thanks |

I don't know... have you reviewed the Troubleshooting section of the User's Guide? I've got some detailed steps that can help resolve disk full errors.

Thanks -- I'll Give it a Try
Thanks Dave
As a start I'll do the erase and copy. The file it got hung up on was the iTunes genius -- maybe iTunes was updating as SuperDuper was trying to copy. If it happens again with that file I'll see if I can do something on that end. Thanks again. |

Update
After trying to fix / clean / repair / ... I went in and deleted the file that always hung up SD.
The copy went well and I can't find any troubles with iTunes where the file lived. Thanks |

The genius database is large. Were you getting an error? Did you leave it for a long time? Was iTunes *running*?

I have my computer set to turn on at 6:00 am and run a backup.
iTunes also opens at login. So I wonder if the two running together caused troubles. I have now turned of the "open at login" for iTunes. The file was 260 mb. So far so good. |
