i am backing up several volumes off a samba mounted drive on my iMac. for example, i am backing up the volumes data20 and data40. i made a script for backing up data20 (alone) as a file to an external drive. i saved it and it executed fine.

when the computer was restarted and retrospect express started back up, it ran the data20 script, but instead backed up data40 to the external drive file for data20. in another instance, it backed up only one volume within a higher level directory that was supposed to be backed up (and that lower level volume showed up in the list of volumes to select without me defining it).

i'm not sure how/why it changed the scripts without any intervention.

any thoughts on what i should do next? i fixed them all by hand, but i don't want it to happen in the future. is backing up through a samba mounted volume not supported? (i am running mac os x) i don't really want to pay the $70 to talk to customer support, but this seems like a pretty big issue.

thanks for your help!

Has anyone else noticed that Retrospect just doesn't back up files with names ending in .numbers? Or is this just on my machine (a G4 using 10.4.11)? Any idea what might be the cause?

I am using latest Retrospect 6.1.138 and I have done everything its Read Me suggests. I have also been to the EMC Retrospect web-site and downloaded the article about the problem. And everything there has already been implemented.

But to no avail - my .numbers spreadsheets are still NOT being backed up. Help!!! Please!! ]]>Tue, 06 May 2008 12:57:29 GMT<![CDATA["Never backed up" message]]>http://forums.dantz.com/showtopic.php?tid/27136/http://forums.dantz.com/showtopic.php?tid/27136/
My system is backed up every night, and every morning I get a "You have never been backed up over the network..." message. Why, and what do I do to fix it?

Thank you, in advance. ]]>Mon, 21 Apr 2008 14:15:59 GMT<![CDATA[No user with my name!!!]]>http://forums.dantz.com/showtopic.php?tid/27087/http://forums.dantz.com/showtopic.php?tid/27087/Mon, 14 Apr 2008 18:55:28 GMT<![CDATA[restoring and license code]]>http://forums.dantz.com/showtopic.php?tid/27071/http://forums.dantz.com/showtopic.php?tid/27071/https://iomega-eu-en.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/iomega_eu_en.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=18978&... but this does not help.

∆ Retrospect Express version LaCie Edition 6.1.126
launch at 4/7/2008 8:11 AM
+ Retrospect Driver Update, version 6.1.8.101
Error: Scanning incomplete, error -116 (unknown).

I ran the Disk Utility to repair the disk and then did a verify on it. All is well. I tried scannng the files again, but got the same error.

I'm running 10.4.11 (12? - whatever the latest version is) on a MacBook Pro with 2GB of memory.

Thanks.

the install appears to happen without problems, but when we try to run Retrospect (either from the Applications directory, or with the drive's push-button), the app appears in the doc for a moment, then disappears.

a system dialog then appears saying:

  • Quote:
The application Retrospect Express quit unexpectedly.

Mac OS X and other applications are not affected.

Click Reopen to open the application again. Click Report to see more details or send a report to Apple.



i've sent the report to Apple. we also filed a support request with Acomdata, in case this is a known problem with version they bundled with the drive.

however, since this looks most like a Retrospect-specific problem, this forum seems like the most likely place for a real solution.

i've tried applying the 6.1 driver update from this link:

but there's no change in behavior.

any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! ]]>Sat, 15 Mar 2008 17:31:56 GMT<![CDATA[Backup two Powerbooks to one external HD?]]>http://forums.dantz.com/showtopic.php?tid/26789/http://forums.dantz.com/showtopic.php?tid/26789/
