offwhite Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 I have been running Retrospect 6.5 for years successfully executing away backups to different external hard drives of my work product folder on my system hard drive. I do this manually without scheduling. A very simple and straightforward process. In Retrospect it appears as though the script is described as a duplicate but in fact it would only update changed or new files. EXACTLY what I wanted to accomplish. This would only take minutes to execute, and again exactly what I wanted to accomplish. When the process ran it would show up in Retrospect execution window as a "folder for folder" copying process.........not one with the special Retrospect backup files or icons. Just standard folder icons. In the last week +/- the process Retrospect executes has changed. It now duplicates the entire folder, [about 23 GB]. This is killing time, and resources I do not want. I am at a loss how to edit the script back to it's prior process. I copied and pasted in a copy from the log file of one of the short run copy sessions, and below that one of the new long run process. To me the scripts appear identical but something has changed and I can't identify it or figure out how to change it. To make matters more complicated I have a complete history of files on the external hard drive, [93 +/- GB], and only relevant or current files on still on the system hard hard drive. And the complete backup volume is now too large to replace it on my system hard drive and create a new backup file set up from scratch. I simply do not have a big enough hard drive. Can someone help me PLEASE get back to where I was? I would so appreciate it!!
