FN-FORUM: Retrospect going doo-lally - help!

date posted 26th August 2004 20:33

Hi All,

Posted this yesterday, but was a little late on:

I've got a problem with Dantz Retrospect 6 backup software running on a G4
with OSX Panther.

For some reason the program's only displaying a single snapshot for each
backup set (generally only a single tape used for each backup set). I've got
all the scripts set to run an incremental backup and have been through
double-checking all the settings to make sure everything is in fact set to
incremental (or "normal" rather than recycle using Dantzs' terminology).

The previous point-in-time files seem to still be on the tapes as I've been
able to search and find things that have been deleted from our system months
ago. There should be one snapshot for every week since the start of this
year for any given backup set - but even going to "add snapshots" only
reveals one or in some cases two.

Any ideas? Anyone else had similar problems?

Cheers

Rob
