Problem backing up
 

Can someone explain to me what this means:

My wife installed the latest update from "Software Update" on her iBook. As a result of this update Mail, Safari, Addressbook, etc. would not run. I ended up doing an archive install. After installing and running for a day, I did a Superdupper! backup with this disk as a "target disk" from my iMac.. I got the error above. What is this telling me? I deleted the "previous system" folder and will try the backup tomorrow.

Yes, deleting "Previous Systems" is the way to go. Don't know if your destination might also have failed -- it looks like it did.

In any case, please see the "Troubleshooting" section of the User's Guide...
