Don Lee Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 I'm getting this error: Date: 5/23/2017 9:40 AM Can't use Open File Backup option for OS (C:) on TLOlibrary, error -3043 (the maximum number of Snapshots has been reached) Windows 7 for the Retro backup machine. Windows 7 for the client. NTFS FS backed up. Retrospect Trial. (windows v12) What does this mean? The backup seems to run anyway, but is it somehow incomplete? How do I "fix" it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbennett Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 I've never seen this error, so I suspect it's a limit placed on the trial version. Just a guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pls2000 Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 That error isn't caused in Retrospect, R is just reporting it. The problem is in the Winodws system being backed up. I believe that the problem is that the Windows Shadow Copy provider has a still active shadow copy from a recent backup. This can happen if the backup client is disconnected in the middle of a backup. You can either leave it alone for a while and allow the shadow copy to time out and be aborted, or reboot the machine. BTW, prefligh1, why are you *still* running XP on a machine connected to a network? ++PLS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Lee Posted June 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 To close the loop - my -3043 error went away. I only saw it once, and have not seen it since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
