Existing users, 
I run both, OS 9.2 and OS 10.3.9 on separate machines. I use silverkeeper on both.
On OS 9.2 it has always worked flawlessly.
On OS 10.3.9 i have two Lacie 160GB firewire 800 drives daisy chained into one firewire port and silverkeeper can never accomplish a complete backup between these two drives without stalling and, ultimately, crashing. I have to force quit the program ... and even force quitting doesn't eliminate the program from my desktop so i have to force shut down the entire computer.
Yes, i have done all the usual maintenance on my G5 (rebuilding directories, prebinding, etc) and the "ignore owndership" button on the destination volume is NOT checked.
I wouldn't recommend silverkeeper for OS 10.3.9.

OS9 great! OSX Yuck! - chembob
Odd, I've had no problem whatsoever and I have regularly run it under various flavors of Tiger. In fact, it saved me when I had a hard drive failure on my PowerBook three days after a full backup to a 160 GB external firewire drive. I appreciate it that they are providing this program to us for free.ChemBob

There are improvements in the FireWire driver made by Apple in OS X 10.4.xOne of the issues corrected by Apple was improvement of copying between two FireWire drives.
