Hi, Egizzi.

The problem here is with your FileVault volume.

Rather than backing up logged into the FileVault volume, which can cause issues like this, try creating a non-FV user. Log out of your account and into that one (don't use Fast User Switching), and run the backup from there.

Since your FileVault volume will be put away, it'll back up cleanly and you'll be all set... unless there's damage to that volume. But, we won't know until you give it a try.

Hope that helps!

OK: the problem, then, is that your FileVault sparse image -- the thing the system has created to store your FileVault files -- is resident on top of a bad spot.

The problem is that it's hard to know what's damaged inside the image. And, since the image itself is hidden when mounted, it's hard to back up "normally". So...

If you can, make a "manual" backup (using Finder) of your Home folder first. You might encounter errors, but I'd be more comfortable if you got the files out of there, temporarily.

Once that's done, proceed with the Un-File-Vault. Hopefully it'll proceed without errors so that you can safely ignore the backup.

Once that's done, you can either backup, or re-FileVault and then back up: it's your choice. The system should relocate anything on a bad spot, so that you can proceed with the disk as-is -- but to be safest, it'd be best to un-FileVault, back up, boot from the backup, and then erase and ZERO your internal drive to get the surface tested and re-mapped. Then, restore.

I hope that makes sense...

problem solved

In the process of copying my home directory data to an external drive, the copy failed on one file. I deleted that file, and had a hunch it was the problem. So I deleted everything on the external drive and ran superduper again and it worked. Thanks for the help.

OK: I'd still follow the procedure I listed because the actual FileVault volume is what was damaged, not the file inside (except that it was in the bad spot...)... be careful!
