Superduper stalls on Macbook

[David_D]

I've had no trouble making full clones using SuperDuper on my PowerMac G5 and my recently stolen PowerBook G4. I bought a new MacBook Pro with Parallels 3 and Windows XP installed and SuperDuper stalls trying to clone to an external drive. I've tried with and without Smart Update and the problem still occurs. I get a Startup Disk Full warning and the available space on the startup disk goes to at or near zero. After restarting, the available space returns to 42GB. There should be plenty of room. When the clone operation reaches the point at which it stalls, the number of files copied increases about 1 every couple of seconds, so it's moving but very slowly. It appears to be midway through copying the Applications folder.
