System frozen after SD puts it to sleep...
Hi, used SD for the 1st time last night, i successfully backed up with the trial version earlier in the day then after getting the full version i set it to go again when i went to bed (backing up onto an ext. Lacie USB2 drive), got up today and it had completed all the operations, including putting the system to sleep afterwards, but SD itself then refused to close when i clicked on OK, and all other programs i opened seemed to seize up and had to be forced to quit, and even then some wouldnt do so, and finally the whole screen just went blank (! :/ ) Anyway, i suspect everything is fine, except maybe i should omit the option to put the system to sleep next time, since the Intel mini will do that itself anyway ... ?
Thx Danny |

Hi, Danny. We just ask the system to put itself to sleep (we use a simple AppleScript command
Code:
tell application "System Events" to sleep

It certainly sounds like it was done, yes. But something on the system started to have trouble, likely because of the extensive I/O, which is why I asked about AntiVirus. You might want to give it another try to see if it happens again.
(I'd also add the backup drive to the Spotlight Preference Pane's "Privacy" tab to prevent it from being indexed by Spotlight.)

Right -- we preserve the Privacy state...
