brock Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 After a few years of letting my old Retrospect 6.x archive sit idle, I decided today to restore the archive and put it on a much larger disk. When I went to restore the archive, an error message came up saying I couldn't do this because I was using a non PowerPC (I am using the latest an iMac, one generation back). I updated to 6.3.2.x and it installed fine, but when I try and restore, the client doesn't see the archive. when I click on the archive, it says it can't run because I'm using a non PowerPC. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twickland Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 OSes beyond 10.6.x do not enable Rosetta, which is required to run PowerPC applications like Retrospect 6 on an Intel machine. Retrospect 6 is actually not certified to run on OSes beyond 10.5.x, though for restores of documents (not system files or applications), it will often work under 10.6.x. You need to find yourself an older Mac to run Retrospect 6. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brock Posted March 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Thanks, Tim. That's an excellent idea. I do have an older Mac hanging around that I could use to at least do the restore and then upgrade to a newer version. Much appreciated.
