"repair permissions" grayed out?

[strudel]

Greetings,

First, thanks for an excellent program that has changed my back-up life!

Now the question: I went into the "Options" menu, and I see that "repair permissions" is grayed out. Why is this, or what can I do to change it?

Thanks in advance....

That would mean the source drive in this case can't have its permissions repaired because it isn't a drive with OSX on it (or the OSX install is incomplete/damaged).

thanks for the reply, and sorry for the uninformed question!

No problem -- that's why I'm here.
