Getting Super Duper to Delete First
Anyone figure out a way to get Super Duper to delete files on the destination first when using smart backup?
I'm dealing with a large volume that changes often and Super Duper often fails (out of disk space) when mirroring to an identically sized volume. This gets really frustrating because a complete backup of the volume can take over 15 hours. Is there another solution I should be looking at? I used to use Psync years ago, anyone know if it's still a viable backup option under Leopard? |
There's no way to get SuperDuper! to do this, Twitch, at least at present.

I'm having the same problem on a drive that has temporary video files. The disk was nearly full. I deleted 69 GB of video, and added 32 GB of new video --- note that was 69GB in a single file, and 32GB in a single file. "No space left on device." If nothing else, perhaps you could create a queue of failed files and make a second pass, when space has been freed. @Twitch: You could also look at using rsync from the command line. Be sure to include the -E switch to enable Apple extended attributes. Be darned careful with whether the directories have a trailing / or not; you could end up deleting lots of stuff you didn't intend. :) Code:
rsync -EaSv --progress --delete /Volumes/Source/ /Volumes/Destination/ |
