[DM-MUG] why will restore from backup not complete?

[Ray Bowler]

Hi,

Any thought as to the why of the following would be appreciated.

Wed. evening my spouse's iBook froze and I ran DiskWarrior to rebuilt 
the directory. DW then froze wile attempting to write the optimize 
directory to the HD. I stopped it, rebooted and tried DW again. Same 
thing.

So I decided to be safe rather than use a possible defective 
directory on my main drive. I had a backup from Tues night which I 
had made before upgrading to 10.4.6. I erased the internal HD and 
used SuperDuper  to restore from the backup. That locked up about 
halfway through. A second try with the same result. I used Disk 
Utility Restore feature to restore after again erasing. Locked up 
about 40% of the way through. Tried again with the same result. Then 
used a second backup( backups are nice) with Disk utility and the 
same result. Any ideas about why they will not complete the restore?

I am trying a restore from the second backup using SuperDuper. If it 
doesn't work I will reinstall Tiger with the erase and install option 
and use Migration Assistant to bring over her user files.
