Spotlight State Problem
I am backing up my Macbooks HD nightly using a Smart BU. When I initially created the partition on my WD 250 GB USB drive, I added it to the privacy tab on Spotlight.
The problem is, the drive will disappear from Spotlight, and if I try to add it in again, by dragging it or any other means, it cannot be done. If I erase the partition, and add it back to the privacy tab I can do it, but the problem will happen again after a few backups. I've even tried letting Super Duper disable_spotlight script after the backup, but that does not help either. I have two external USB drives, and use one to backup the other with Superduper, without a problem. It only happens on my Mac's drive. Any ideas? Joe |

If you use "disable_spotlight", it'll definitely disappear from Privacy. Similarly, if you try to disable indexing in other ways, that'll take it out of spotlight as well...

Follow Up Question
Dave,
Sorry, perhaps I did not explain correctly. My problem is occuring even when I do not run the disable_spotlight script. I added running of the script to see if it would resolve the problem. I actually suspect that it is something to do with Superduper not finishing up the back up job completely. The last time I noticed this happening was when I got an error message that a certain file could not be copied (it was corrupt), but I don't know if this is true in other cases. Joe |

That's quite possible: spotlight status restoration occurs after we've completed a copy. We're aware of this bug and it's something we're looking to improve in the future.
