I have 2 very large tasks left, cleaning up my Address Book and re-tagging Faces & Places in iPhoto.  I then only have one other thing that isn’t working right and that is SuperDuper!.  It is completing a back-up; but it is taking much longer than before like 30 minutes more than before.  I have made minimal changes to my hard drive content since I got most everything working again.  And the speed at which SuperDuper! operates is killing me.  I have had to leave it running for up to 1.5 hours just to do the Smart Update!!

That is much longer than the 10 minutes it used to take with Leopard and no changes to my hard drive.  Which according to the SuperDuper! blog is caused by the way Snow Leopard and SuperDuper! are handling certain /System Files.  They are currently working on the issue and I hope that an update comes very soon.  In other comments, Dave Nanian, suggests that you recreate your Scheduled Back-Ups to make sure that they are running properly.

I have SuperDuper! up and running again and I have most of my site and everything else setup.  All in all for a disaster, it wasn’t as bad as my first hard drive crash back in 2001.  Of course, I only had my computer a month and Western Digital replaced it right away.  It didn’t take long to rebuild and acquire an operating system that was much more robust than Windows ME.

Snow Leopard is very nice, the load times on reboot or cold start.  The screen switching for Spaces is lightning fast and I have to admit that I am looking forward to running the install for my wife on the iMac.  I will make sure that I have 2 back-ups before I start that install.
