Okay, now I'm confused... The guide says (in Backing Up Over a Network) "Superduper cannot write directly to the network volume itself. Instead, you must store your backup in an image..." So that's what I've done - but it sounds like you're saying I shouldn't be storing it in an image, but directly to the drive.
Can you clarify?
