Stop button not stopping
While performing a complete backup of my hard drive I decided I wanted to stop the backup. I clicked the "Stop" button in the lower right corner and...nothing happened. I have clicked it multiple times and it just keeps going. I tried quitting the program and it ignores my request.
I don't want to do a force quit for fear that it might mess up my hard disk. Is the Stop button supposed to work? -John PS: On the positive side, it IS a very pretty Stop button :) |
That's weird: the stop button should work. How did you start this particular backup? Completely manually, scheduled, scheduled-but-interrupted due to missing volume?

1. I turned on my Mac 2. I turned on another Mac in target disk mode (connected by firewire) 3. I started SuperDuper! 4. Set it up to copy my hard disk to the target hard disk 5. "Backup - all files" was selected It did all of step 1 OK. After 2 hours, it is 1/3 of the way done on step 2 (copy files) at 6MB/s -John |
OK. 6MB/s sounds about right. If you open Console, and click Stop, do you get any errors?

My plan was to stop the process, install the hard disk into my Mac in slave mode, and try SuperDuper again. I figured the throughput would be faster that way. What is the MB/s average when copying between two internal serial ATA hard disks? -John |
I actually don't know what the throughput would be between two internal drives, John. It'd likely be faster than FireWire, but not hugely. Mostly we're constrained by the I/O subsystem all this stuff goes through: it's much faster on Intel Macs...
