1 of 2 Scheduled Backups Does Not Run #2

Hi Dave. I'm having a problem similar to the one I reported & we solved around 4/6/16. I've started using Mountain to prevent some drives from unmounting, including the HD source drive. I'm still running Yosemite. My nightly backup does an Update on 2 drives - HD & SSD.

Suddenly, HD is not being backed up, without any error messages, anything relevant I can find in Console logs or SuperDuper logs. I've upgraded Superduper to 3.0. I've deleted & re-entered the Schedule. I've tried doing a manual backup - it works!

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Dave Morgenlender

If you edit it so it runs a few minutes from now, then wait and watch, does it run?

Also...Mountain doesn't prevent drives from unmounting, so I'm not sure what you mean there...

No, SuperDuper did not run.

Mountain's preferences allow selecting parameters for each drive. I had checked "prevent unmount".

Ah. But that would only prevent unmounting it could prevent. It wouldn't prevent unmount due to failure.

Anyway, OK. I can only suggest that launchd isn't running our agent. Does the other one (you said there are two) run if you edit it the same way?

The other (SSD) backup did start, but quickly stopped. I found this in the SuperDuper log & something similar in the Console log:

The automatic copy aborted because SuperDuper! could not locate the Source volume named Yosemite for iMac

I've been spot checking the SuperDuper logs to make sure everything is ok. I've never seen that error message, certainly not recently. BTW, the Yosemite for iMac drive is an SSD drive, which is the boot drive for the iMac. I would probably notice if it couldn't be found!

Perhaps you should delete and recreate both schedules?
