Qs & Newbie Tip: Make Spotlight Stop Indexing During Super Duper Backup

[SuperDuperUser]

yeah -- i was not having any success in it 'sticking' until i went into the admin account.

i'm the administrator but for every day use i use a restricted user account and that includes SD back ups.

is that the wrong way to do it? Now I can't remember if SD or OS X asked me for the admin authentication or not.

if so, what probs might i encounter? or what should i be aware of in this situation.

also, i will use the target FW HD to then back up onto an internal HD in another mac. so I've got a back up of the back up in case of some catastrophic failure.

anything to be aware of there?

thanks
