I booted into Safe Mode as you suggested and started SuperDuper! Using the default options (copying all files to produce a bootable clone disk) the process began by erasing the target drive, Backup. This process took about 30 seconds.
Then the main backup dialogue window appeared. It indicated "Copy Files from Macintosh HD to Backup" and below it was the progress bar indicating about 3%. Then "Cloning Macintosh HD to Backup" appeared followed by a second progress bar that show about 30% progress. This window stayed that way for about 5 minutes.
The process was terminated (by me) and the MAC OS Disk Utility program was started. I had the disk utility program do a verify on the target drive and the program reported the drive was fine. I then had it erase the target drive and again the utility reported a success.
Then SuperDuper! was started again. The erase function took about 30 seconds as before and then the same window as described above appeared for over 8 minutes with no change.
What should I try next?
