The force-quit that I had done was only a few seconds after the backup script launched. It came at a time when my PPC G4 was already being maxed out by some other stuff I was doing. I wanted to dismiss the backup quickly. I can only assume that this hasty action caused the problem with the script not being able to mount the sparseimage the next day. Or did it have something to do with Apple Software Update being in "Reboot Now" mode after doing a Safari update in Mac OS X 10.4.11?
The message that you get with Stop in SuperDuper is not so graceful:
"Stopping now will leave [Volume Name] in an unknown state."
That's a very scary message.
Can you add a pause button in a future release?
