Backup Stalls
 

I have been using SuperDuper! successfully with my Mac desktop for years.
I tried to use SuperDuper! to backup a Mac laptop but the program gets to a point where it never writes any additional files. I select the Backup all files option, and specify the backup drive to be an external hard drive connected to the Mac on a USB2 port. The backup proceeds to write approximately 10,000 files (the actual number varies each time a try a backup), but then it never proceeds in the backup any further. No indication is given by my Mac or SuperDuper! that a problem exists.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

It's probably copying a large file at that point. How long have you waited?

I have waited as long as several hours.
The hard drive is formatted Mac os extended which can handle files larger than 4gb

Ok. Please send an email to support and I'll give you some commands that can help diagnose.

That's not quite what I said to do...
