Hi,

I just wanted to do a complete system backup but SuperDuper always fails.

Could anybody please help me?

Specs:
MacBook Rev. B
Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.2 with all the latest updates
160GB external Harddrive (USB2)
80GB internal Harddrive

Thanks in advance

It looks like your local copy of git has some broken/damaged soft or hard links.

[halbtuerke]

And how can this be fixed?

[dnanian]

Well, you can uninstall and reinstall your copy of git, fix the link(s) by hand, or delete it.

[halbtuerke]

Sorry to bother you but how do I find those broken/damaged soft or hard links?

[dnanian]

The file is listed in the log:

/Volumes/Rest 1/usr/local/bin/git-runstatus

If you do an ls -la, you should see the files that are damaged... it's likely going to be easier to uninstall and reinstall these 3rd party tools.

[halbtuerke]

Thank you very much.

[halbtuerke]

I deleted this "git-runstatus" and continued with the backup but then I got the same error for a jpg which I then deleted and now the same for an icon...

Is there any way to automatically fix all of this broken files? Otherwise it takes DAYS to backup my drive because I have to manually fix them all.

[dnanian]

Are they all in the same folder?

[halbtuerke]

Nope, unfortunately not. Scattered around the hard disk.

[halbtuerke]

Is there anything I can do about these errors?

[dnanian]

The files are damaged, so it's hard to know what to suggest other than "repair them". Did you confirm that they're as I indicated -- broken/damaged files?

We're looking into what we might be able to do with this case in SD! itself, but in general we stop on errors.

[halbtuerke]

Yes those files are somehow damaged, when I try to open them I get an error message.
