Superduper stalls on Macbook

I am trying to get SD to work on my wife's Macbook. After some problems with stalling (for which I never was able to locate the log file), I got it to work once. However, when I tried a smartupdate, that stalled. When I zeroed out the drive, it stalled again (but in a different place).

Here is the latest log file (from an attempt at a basic backup):

Mac OS X Version 10.4.10 (Build 8R2218)

Contents/MacOS/SuperDuper!: __CGPixelAccessLockWindowAccess: access lock
failed: error 1001.

My setup: Macbook attached to a WD passport 160 GB USB2 HD (partitioned into two 80 GB partitions). When the backup starts, it begins at 4.36 MB/s. When I tried the smartupdate, it stalled before any files were processed.
I have a couple of accounts on this computer but I run SD from the administrator account. One other account is a Filevault account. Between the time I did a successful backup to the latest attempt, I installed Parallels and upgraded to 3.0.

Thanks for your help!

Also having problem with MBP with Parallels 3

I've had no trouble making full clones using SuperDuper on my PowerMac G5 and my recently stolen PowerBook G4. I bought a new MacBook Pro with Parallels 3 and Windows XP installed and SuperDuper stalls trying to clone to an external drive. I've tried with and without Smart Update and the problem still occurs. I get a Startup Disk Full warning and the available space on the startup disk goes to at or near zero. After restarting, the available space returns to 42GB. There should be plenty of room. When the clone operation reaches the point at which it stalls, the number of files copied increases about 1 every couple of seconds, so it's moving but very slowly. It appears to be midway through copying the Applications folder.

SD stalling for me, too

I'm trying to copy from a SD backup from my external drive to a new HD drive I've just installed in my Macbook. I've tried smart updating the new drive from the SD backup twice now, and both times the cloning process seems to have stalled after nearly completing the file transfer.

Could you help troubleshoot this problem dnanian?

Hi, Jacob. It's likely copying a large file. Please drop me a note at the support email address and I'll send along some commands that should help.

Thanks for the quick reply (off list), Dave.

It turns out that SD was attempting to make a copy of Google Desktop's large index. Thanks to Dave's advice, I followed the instructions in the SD users' guide to ignore the Google Desktop index (at /Library/Google/Desktop/index).
