To make SuperDuper! run a script just prior to backup, Open this script in "Script Editor" and save the apple script as an application, (also keep a "script" version just to make sure you can still edit it later). It can be saved to any location. Then, in SuperDuper, select your source & destination drives and click the "options" button. Click "Advanced" tab and X the box for "Run a shell script before copy starts"; and select your script. Click OK to exit this window and if you like, "Schedule" this whole operation to happen on a regular basis.
Hope this helps.
