problems since upgrading to Snow Leopard
 

I've had difficulties with SD since I upgraded my OS to Snow Leopard, and now it won't back up at all. I deleted the sparse image, and recreated it via SuperDupermwith no problem, so I'm sure the drive is OK, but whenever I try to backup, either via scheduled or on demand, I get "Failed to copy files from [machine drive] to [external drive].

I append the log, and I'd be grateful for some advice - it's fairly hairy running without backup :(

This looks like your own copy script is, perhaps, including itself...

Why do you say that? There's nothing in the script that I can see that would do that. The machine is called weatherwax, as is the sparse image, but the hard drive is called cottage.

Just based on the crash I see here. You looked in the copy script (which is not specific to the volume, machine or image) and checked in the "include" tab? Does it work with "Backup - all files"?

Drop me an email to support and we'll try to figure out what's going on here...
