"Cannot find target volume ("null")"
Hi,
I can't use SuperDuper! anymore. It always says "SuperDuper! cannot find target volume "(null)" I can press cancel, but the message wont go away. What can I do? Patrick |

Hi, Patrick. Quit SD!, then delete the "Saved Settings" folder in Library/Application Support/SuperDuper! (off your Home folder). Then, give it another try.

This keeps happening to me every week when I need to backup my Mac. I tried deleting the folder mentioned above, but that only removes the error message. To get SuperDuper to work, I have to reboot my Mac.
Is this a bug? Any ideas what may be causing this? |

You quit SD! and removed this folder, and SD! wouldn't start properly after that?

Correct. I had to restart my computer.

target volume is mounted, but still cannot find target volume (null)
I backed up to this external drive (my offsite backup) last Wednesday. Today I fire up SD and it says it can't find the target volume. (note the volume is mounted, visible and I can navigate it). I'm used to that, seems to always happen when I switch from home to offsite backup, but today I can't cancel out. I can quit, but reopening SD gets the same effect. I have no Saved Settings in my Application Support/Superduper! folder.
I can get to the preferences, I tried telling it to forget the volumes, quit and go back in. That gets rid of the (null) message but both volume pulldowns are greyed out. |

Restart your Mac and this should clear up.

This just happened to me after upgrading to 10.6.6 (SD! not finding target volume, being greyed out).
Quitting SuperDuper! and restarting my computer fixed it. |

Thanks for the report. What seems to be happening is that the disk arbitration daemon in OSX gets messed up and starts tossing exceptions... restarting your Mac clears it up.
