Trouble cloning Tiger 10.41

[Iatchi]

Sorry if this has been asked before but I could not find anything.
I'm using erase and copy all files.
During permission repair I see the following:
users/shared/SC info does not exist

As soon as cloning starts SD gives me an error, here's a snip from the log:

Any help appreciated, Thx!

The SC thing from Repair Permission is normal and has nothing to do with SD!

The other problem, from what I can tell, is because Spotlight is aggressively hitting the drive. Wait until spotlight is totally done indexing, and then back up...

[Iatchi]

Spotlight is now completely finished but I still get the same SD error and log info. THX.

[dnanian]

That's strange. Have you tried rebooting?

[Iatchi]

Yep, tried rebooting.
In the mean time I've managed to create a bootable Tiger clone with Deja Vu, so I'm still wondering what's going on with SuperDuper?

[dnanian]

I'm really not sure. We're doing nothing weird here, and I've been doing Tiger clones for quite a few months without issue. We've seen a few people get this "Temporarily Unavailable" message, and it seems to have to do with Tiger.

Why Deja Vu would be able to copy the files I don't know: perhaps the Cocoa calls for file copying are more stringent about error checking and flagging these unusual resource issues: certainly that's what the error is coming from.

I might suggest trying a temporary spotlight disable for both the source and destination drives. If you're comfortable at the command line, you can do:

sudo mdutil -i off / "/Volumes/Mac HD_2"

and then, when the backup is done, do:

sudo mdutil -i on / "/Volumes/Mac HD_2"

But -- again -- this shouldn't be necessary.

It could also be that this particular file is marked "Busy" for some reason (even though it shouldn't be, as far as I can tell), and that's preventing copying. Booting from the Tiger install DVD and checking the disk with Disk Utility might help, but you're failing so *early* in the process -- only a few seconds in -- that it doesn't really make sense to me.

Anyone else out there seeing anything like this?
