I use superduper just fine with Mountain lion and I intend to continue to use it, especially after one incident where my Time machine backup couldn't be used; I think the more options you have, the better off you are. But I need you to clarify some things. 1. You are backing up from your hard drive to a 1tb partition on an external drive: correct?
2. Are you also running time machine somewhere? 3. Note that you made what I think is a typo: I think you mean 641gb not 641tb: correct? 4. Are you losing space on your hard drive or on the external partition where you are backing up with superduper or on some other partition of the external drive? If it's your hard drive, I don't think superduper is putting 400gb of log files etc. on your hard drive. 5. Did you erase the backup partition using disk utility before running the superduper application? I do remember a time when I ran superduper and for some reason it couldn't erase the partition? 6. Have you checked how much space is being used on the partition where your superduper backup is and have you booted into it to see if it is working properly? 7. Have you received any messages from superduper saying the backup couldn't be completed or has it failed to complete? I'm sorry to make things complicated by asking for more information but I really will try to help if you can clarify things for me. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.
