[QUOTE="markwco, post: 1399849, member: 46077"] I have a OS X Lion 10.7.3 based Macbook Pro and use the newest version of SuperDuper to do backups. I back up to an OWC external hard drive. I have used this system for around 3 years on multiple laptops/drives with no problems. For some reason it won't work now on my Macbook Pro. When I backup it fails at a certain part of the backup. I thought it was simply my system had too much open and was running slow so did a restart and didn't open anything other than SuperDuper but that did not fix it. Then I thought it was a bad Firewire 800 cable so tried a 2nd one with no luck. Then I tried a USB 2.0 cable with no luck. I then figured that either my laptop's hard drive or my OWC hard drive is going bad. I realized that the error where it fails occurs at the same part of the backup almost everytime. I then realized you can view the log of the backup and I did that and looking at the bottom I see where the problem is. Here is that part of the log: | 02:50:17 AM | Info | /Users | 02:56:21 AM | Info | /.Trashes | 02:56:21 AM | Info | /.Spotlight-V100 | 02:56:21 AM | Info | Preserving /.Spotlight-V100 | 02:56:36 AM | Info | /.MobileBackups | 02:56:36 AM | Info | Error copying /.MobileBackups/Computer/2012-04-22-102239/Volume/Users/Mark/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/mt8wlqz7.default/Mail/Local Folders/AVC.sbd/Ordered Items to /Volumes/OWC On The Go/.MobileBackups/Computer/2012-04-22-102239/Volume/Users/Mark/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/mt8wlqz7.default/Mail/Local Folders/AVC.sbd/Ordered Items of type 8 due to error 28 | 02:56:36 AM | Error | SDCopy: Error copying /.MobileBackups/Computer/2012-04-22-102239/Volume/Users/Mark/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/mt8wlqz7.default/Mail/Local Folders/AVC.sbd/Ordered Items to /Volumes/OWC On The Go/.MobileBackups/Computer/2012-04-22-102239/Volume/Users/Mark/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/mt8wlqz7.default/Mail/Local Folders/AVC.sbd/Ordered Items of type 8 due to error 28: No space left on device I don't know enough about this type of thing to know what the means.
