Need to restore my backup, want to verify steps...

Well, the good news is that I've restored my backup, and the backup "works", but I'm getting the same cannot read block errors when I fsck the new Macintosh HD that I restored. So, I guess I had data corruption before my last backup. Not sure what to do about that!

Well... did you erase and zero the drive before you restored, or did you just restore to the drive with bad blocks?

I zeroed it with Disk Utility (I made sure to choose that option - just did one pass), then also chose "erase, then copy" with SuperDuper.

Maybe you have more severe problems with the drive, jettrue... everything works on the backup, right?

Well... sort of. Things work "better" on the backup... if I'm running on either the Macintosh HD only or the clone (with the Macintosh HD with the data), things will hang here and there, and when I'm running off the backup only, things seem to be smoother.

However, I tested this morning, if I fsck my *backup*, I get the same "bad super block" errors as I get when I fsck the Macintosh HD. SO, I think my data is corrupted from the time of my last backup.

That kind of thing isn't copied, though. (At least, not unless a low-level block copy is done, and SD! copies file-by-file.)

Hmmm, now, my backup is on my external drive, while the Macintosh HD is on the internal drive. Could that mean both drives are about to crap out on me?
