This morning, I installed SuperDuper! 2.5 on my aluminum iMac (Leopard).

When running SD 2.5, it stops at around 31600 files and will not proceed.

And, what's worse, it forces my next Time Machine-to-Time Capsule backup to back up the entire iMac hard drive as if this were the first backup to Time Capsule. I've been using the Time Capsule for two weeks and all backups since the very first one were and should be sequential, fast, short, small <1gig backups.

After SD2.5's several failures today, the first Time Machine backup (after I stopped the stuck SD procedure) is the full 50gig backup which takes a couple of hours.

Significantly, I use a separate iOmega 500gig drive (and not the Time Capsule) for SD.

It fear that SD somehow corrupted the Time Capsule even though it was configured to back up to the separate iOmega drive. The problem even appears to affect my MacBook Air which now takes a long time "Preparing" to backup Time Machine to Time Capsule and requires a full (not sequential) backup to Time Capsule.

As a result of all of this trouble and wasted time, I intend to scrub SD from my iMac and abandon any thought of using it again.
