How Do I Know If SuperDuper is doing Anything?

This may sound really stupid but I'm new to the Mac and I've just downloaded SuperDuper and registered. The SuperDuper! window came up; I identified the "Copy" drive and the "to" Drive and told it to use Backup - All Files. Then I pressed the Blue Copy Now button and nothing seemed to happen. There was no change in screen or anything. The Copy Now button was pulsating slightly so i pressed it again but still can't tell if anything is happening??? Can you please advise what I should do next?? The "Copy" drive has about 350 Gb of photos on it and nothing else.

One other thing. The PDF guide indicates after you click on "Copy Now" you should receive a "final confirmation" screen. After I clicked on "Copy Now" nothing happened (either time). No confirmation screen, nothing???

Okay, I guess I did something wrong on the initial setup. Anyway, i quit SuperDuper! and then started it up again and it worked just fine this time. Copied 325GB of photos to a second internal drive in about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Now I'm going to back them up again to an external drive.

Great! Always good to see that a problem gets resolved before I have a chance to check it out.
