[QUOTE=dnanian;28931]Did you reference the Troubleshooting section of the User's Guide? It answers your first question.[/QUOTE

Well, maybe I'm blind, but I didn't see the answer.

You can delete the files if you'd like and know what they are...
Since my SD! volume is on a partitioned drive, and I now am operating from a much larger internal drive, I decided to modify the external drive to one with a completely erased, single-partition volume via Disk Utility. I'm now going to use this much larger single-partition drive for my SD! backups.

Is there any reason I need to begin with an initial "Erase, then Copy" backup? I just initiated the backup as a Smart Update, and it seems to be quite happy doing it. (In fact, I don't know when I'd ever want to select an "Erase, then copy"—even on a previously used drive that still contained (now unwanted) data—if Smart Update accomplishes the same result.)
