Well, it happened again. I keep most of my data on an external nonboot drive and that's what I back up regularly - almost daily to my "usual" backup target and every month or two or three to a 2nd backup target. I am having no trouble backing up my to "usual" backup target, but when I tried to back up to the volume that was last duplicated (without incident) in September or so, SD! hung (and wouldn't quit when I canceled the duplication). I tried again, no joy and had to force quit. I paid enough attention to Activity Monitor to see 0 disk reads or writes at the time of the hang. I was able to guess at where SD! hung, so I manually copied the suspect folder, which had very little info. The suspect folder is a subfolder of the folder I had problems in in September, but the latter (parent) folder is also the one that is most heavily changed. Then I repeated the backup - SD! seemed a little slow as it approached the point at which it had been hanging, but it got thru the process. I used DiskWarrior to check the directories of both the source and target volumes and didn't find anything terribly unusual and I surface scanned both the source and target drives with TechTool and didn't find bad blocks.
The SD! log isn't very helpful - just says it was working on the suspect's parent folder at the time of the hang. My source drive is less than a year old. The target drive is a probably a little older than a year (I had a problem with the case when the drive was about 6 mos old, sent it back and I think all they did was replace the case). My computer shouldn't be sleeping during the backup and I try not to involve the backup volume in any active processes other than SD! when I'm backing up. I do, however, have the box that says "put hard drives to sleep when possible," checked in the Energy Saver settings.
