Hi Graeme, First: Make sure you are running the latest version of DejaVu. Download and reinstall.
Second: > The 2 TB drive in place is connected to my IMac via USB and the 1 TB > connected to this via 800 Firewire The 2TB Drive should be connected to the iMac FW 800 and the 1TB connected to the 2TB via FW 800. You have to have the first drive in the chain turned on if you want the second drive to be recognised by OS X. A FireWire cable between Drive 1 and Drive 2 will NOT be recognised. That only works if Drive 1 is connected to the computer via FireWire as well As I understand it you are currently trying to use a chain along the lines of: Computer-----USB----->Drive 1------FW------>Drive 2 The results of this would match your observations. A FireWire cable between Drive 1 and Drive 2 will NOT be recognised. That only works if Drive 1 is connected to the computer via FireWire as well. Try doing this first and then run a Manual Backup using DejaVu. If it doesn’t backup correctly post back as you could have the interpreter installed in the wrong place: The interpreter might not be installed where it should be, it might be in /usr/local/bin instead of usr/bin. I will be out for some of tonight so might not be able to get back to you until tomorrow.
