Hi Mike, I have encountered the same problem during cloning.

The message was:

"The backup task was aborted because the destination volume's mountpoint changed. Try the task again. Avoid making any changes to the source and destination volumes during the backup task."

I am trying to clone my Macintosh HD (120 GB) to Samsung SSD (256 GB). I connect the SSD to my Macbook Pro 3,1 using Apricorn 2.5" SATA Notebook Drive, and OWC Express (usb 2.0) Enclosure.

I also tried SuperDuper!, but ended up geting the same problem.

Can you please help me? Thank you, Mike!

   Hi Gunawan:

   I think I'd make the same conclusion -- there is some sort of hardware configuration problem or compatibility issue. This section of CCC's documentation offers some troubleshooting tips that can help you isolate the problem:

   Hi Mike,

   Thanks for the respond. I finally managed to clone my hard drive. At first, I switched to another usb port on my laptop. It went only until 50 %. I then used disk utility to restore my hard drive to new SSD, and it works. I still don't know why I couldn't use CCC to do it, because I've used it to clone my external hd to another external hd with no problem.

   Gunawan.
