Backup hangs on Restoring Spotlight state

[johncarn]

That's kind of what I thought, but I wanted to check first before I created the new image.

I'll do that tonight.

Okay, so I deleted the sparse image file for the backup last night, and let SD! create a new image. It's been running 11 hours now.

Funny thing is, backups for my other mac ran just fine last night, and is creating the image file on the same NAS, just s different directory.

I do run the Repair Permissions on the HD prior to backup, and everything else seems to be okay.

Any suggestions?

It's at the "restoring spotlight state" step?

[johncarn]

Yes, that's the step it sits at.

Stop it, run an immediate smart update, and when it gets stuck, generate a system profiler report. Compress/ZIP it and send it to me at the support email address.

Well, it ran as part of it's normal schedule last night, and I found it hung this morning.

I stopped it and re-ran the copy, and it ran fine.

I then used the schedule and re-ran it again, and it ran fine.

Guess I'll continue to monitor it. Beats me.

Very strange behavior, John...
