[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1775558, member: 83420"] Good evening, Keith. I'm slightly guessing here, but it could be down to your settings.... When you mount your External Hard Drive (EHD) which acts as the destination for the SuperDuper! (SD!) clone, and then open SD! app, you will be presented with a window: It will show Source as your Mac HD and destination as your EHD. Underneath will be the "Copy Now" box. Leave that for the moment. To the left is the box "Options". Click on that. It will extend the window and at the bottom will be "On successful completion" with a variety of options - revealed by clicking on the up/down arrowheads. By default "On successful completion" should show "Do Nothing" - that is what you want. The other options are: Eject your EHD Shut down computer Sleep computer Quit SD! It is possible that that you have selected "Quit SD!" which means that it is supposed to quit the SD! app automatically - this doesn't always happen in my experience. So make sure that "Do nothing" is selected. That means that when the cloning is finished and you have the three green ticks, you then Click on the "SuperDuper!" icon on the top menu bar and from the drop down, choose "Quit SuperDuper!" The reason I'm suggesting this all is that you say SD! "asks to be shut down", which it shouldn't do - hence my suggestion of checking the Options. Please come back to us. BTW - clocks go back tonight - don't forget!;) Ian [/QUOTE]
