SuperDuper! could not locate the Destination volume
I use SuperDuper! on a number of machines with great success, but I'm having trouble with one.
It's by far my oldest machine. A 450 MHz PPC G4, running 10.3.9, and I'm using SD 2.1.4 on it. I have it connected to a LaCie Firewire drive that I have divided into two partitions. I call them LaCie1 and LaCie2. I have SD set up to back up to LaCie1 on weekdays at 2:30am, and to LaCie2 on Saturday. The backup to LaCie2 works flawlessly, but almost every time I come in in the morning on a weekday to find "| 02:30:04 AM | Error | The automatic copy aborted because SuperDuper! could not locate the Destination volume named LaCie 1." The SD pane on the screen shows a blank in the pulldown menu for the destination. To put it simply, SD couldn't find LaCie1, and it gave up. But it's mounted. The icon is on the desktop. I can click on the icon to open it! So I sigh, select LaCie1 in the pulldown, and manually command a backup. Works fine. So what's going on? I can do a manual backup easily, but the scheduled backups don't seem to work on one of the two partitions. |
Try deleting and recreating the schedule for that 2nd LaCie and see if that helps.

Yes, that seems to have worked. It copied properly this early Monday morning.
I've tried many times opening up that schedule and reentering the commands, but I don't think I ever actually deleted and recreated the schedule in its entirety. Let's see how well it holds up. Many thanks! |
Let me know, Dan - glad it seems OK at present.

Just to follow up and get closure here. My scheduled backups are now working fine. I guess the reminder here is that when something doesn't work, deleting it and recreating it is better than diddling with it!
Thanks again, Dave. |
Hmmm. Happened to me, too.
I came to the forum to report a mysterious "could not locate the Destination volume" failure this morning. I'll add on to this thread rather than open a parallel one. Although I could quietly recreate my scheduled copy, perhaps my scenario will yield a useful clue for Dave or others.

Try restarting your Mac, and test your schedule by clicking "Copy Now" for each in the Scheduled Copies window (Window > Scheduled Copies).

A-ok
