Hmm. Same thing happened a couple of days ago, but this time a full uninstall SD + reboot + reinstall into Apps did not fix it. Any ideas? I'm on 10.6.8

Thanks!

Run a scheduled job on-demand?

I have backups scheduled for 11:00 pm. The "to" drive is normally asleep and unmounted, and SuperDuper mounts it automatically on schedule, does the backup, and then shuts down the computer.

Ah, ok, thank you for checking! I checked and one of my Macs has it, the other does not. No idea why.

Anyway, I switched to using a VMWare utility called "vmrun" (instead of the osascript...

True. Perhaps more than one (differently named) "ignore"?

The multi-segment file does not help, all of them appear to get touched by VMWare.

I'd love to learn how current SD + VMWare users...

Power outage during backup

My city has power outages every few weeks, specially in summer. What happens (to either source disk or backup disk) if a SuperDuper backup is running and power is lost?

Thanks

Is there any way to have the backup keep an archive of changed/deleted files?
