  1. Retrospect Client 14.1.0 (138), High Sierra developer beta 5 (17A330h). Turning on Retrospect in the Retrospect Client System Pref Pane give 'No network connection'. Networking for everything else is fine. No other problems with other software, just Retrospect Client. Has anyone got it to work, or is there a beta of the client that does?
  2. I'd like to be able to turn on Retrospect Client via the Command Line. (We manage several Macs via Jamf Pro). Updating the client from the server often doesn't work. I tried the command on this forum: http://forums.retrospect.com/index.php?/topic/18743-retrospect-client-turn-off-and-on-by-script/ but I get: execution error: System Events got an error: Can’t get window 1 of process "Retrospect Client". Invalid index. (-1719) The command isn't really what I want, I'd prefer something that does not disturb the user. What I'd like is a bash script to turn on Retrospect Client if it is off. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks, James.
  3. Thanks Lennart. Have deleted the old Media Set and re-created it. The proactive backup is running now. All looking good. Thanks again for your help. James.
  4. No, refresh never finishes. Only Proactive, have no scheduled backups. All clients on same subnet. Just re-installed the Retrospect Client on problem machine, then restarted it. Everything came up - client IP is now correct, not 0.0.0.0. The Proactive Backup started. But kept getting: Additional error information for Disk Backup Set member "1-PP Backup", Can't write to file /Volumes/HD/Retrospect/PP Backup/1-PP Backup/AB000008,460.rdb, error -1,023 (already exists) [*] xopWrite: trouble writing, error -106 (data overwrite attempt) [*] xopWrite: trouble writing, error -106 (data overwrite attempt) [*] xopFlush: flush failed, error -106 (data overwrite attempt) !Trouble writing: "1-PP Backup" (553111552), error -106 (data overwrite attempt) !Trouble writing media: "1-PP Backup" error -106 (data overwrite attempt) over and over again. Have stopped the backup.
  5. Retrospect version 14.0.0.183 Have a few Proactive Backups that have (Not yet determined) as their status, and it doesn't change. Even a restart of the Retrospect Backup Engine doesn't help. Or a restart of the client machine. Anyone know how to get it to make a determination? According to the Sources section of Retrospect, the source is running client version 14.0.0.183. Address is 0.0.0.0 for some reason. Thanks, James.
  6. Perhaps it is not actually stalled! On the Client, it says: "Backing up: 39.5 GB of 68.1 GB - 49 minutes remaining" Even though according to Retrospect on the server, Activities section, the Backup is stuck on 727.3 MB Completed, 67.4GB Remaining. So looks like it is a bug in the display on the Retrospect app. The Retrospect Engine and the client are doing their job properly. James.
  7. Getting desperate here. Something's not right. After 40 mins, 1165 files copied, but only 54MB. Told it to stop the backup. It has been on 'Cancelling execution...' for over half an hour. It's log says: + Normal backup using BSB Backup at 8/05/2017, 5:34:46 PM (Activity Thread 1) 8/05/2017 5:34:47 PM: Finished scanning backup set data files To Backup Set BSB Backup... - 8/05/2017 5:34:46 PM: Copying Macintosh HD on Bob Brown’s Computer Using Instant Scan data for Macintosh HD on Bob Brown’s Computer 8/05/2017 5:36:09 PM: Found: 1676073 files, 482689 folders, 637.3 GB 8/05/2017 5:37:05 PM: Finished matching Backing up 11 out of 44 files using block level incremental backup, storing full backups for remaining 33. 8/05/2017 5:40:53 PM: Copying: 17318 files (16.4 GB) and 2 hard links Other issues: Have changed the number of allowed activity threads from 1 to 3. But I have only one running (the one cancelling execution) and all other Proactive Backups say 'waiting for execution unit'. The Retrospect log simply says: + Retrospect version 14.0.0.183 Launched at 8/05/2017 5:32:23 PM Is there a config file that is corrupt of something? Really not sure what to do next. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, James.
  8. Mac Server, Mac & PC clients. I have three backups running, but they have all stalled early on in the copy stage. Retrospect Log shows: + Retrospect version 14.0.0.183 Launched at 1/05/2017 7:58:47 PM [*] Captured signal SIGPIPE!

The EAB Backup shows status of 'Copying Local Disk (C:)' and has only completed 118MB of 7.6GB. The SecuritySpy Backup is showing 'Closing', as is Mail Backup. Just noticed that the PC is running version 11 of the client. Maybe that's the problem. Will update it and see. Any other suggestions?
  9. Ended up deleting the Media Set in the GUI, then deleting it and the catalog from the HD in the Finder. Recreated Media Set and added new member to it.
  10. I have the same issue. Some media sets have lost members, so backups don't start. Upgrading to 13.5.0 (173) didn't fix things. Trying to re-add them gives me a File/Directory not found error (-1101).
  11. For some reason I have a media set that has lost its connection to its member. So I click on the '+' to add a new member. I can't get it to add the existing member, get the File/directory not found (-1101) error. See attached screenshot. For some reason I have many nested folders. It doesn't matter which folder I select, I get the same error when I click on Add. Retrospect 13.0.1 (106) Any ideas? Thanks, James.
  12. I clicked Cancel, then was able to remove them in smaller groups. Perhaps there was a Backup Script running on one of the Media Sets which had backups I was trying to delete. All removed now.
  13. I now have a dialog asking to confirm removal of the backups. I have already clicked on Remove and it did the spinning icon as if it was working. It was like this for ages. Then I noticed that it now has 'MacRequestor:...remote endpoint' in red above the buttons. See attached screenshot. Clicking on Remove button doesn't seem to do anything. I am stuck at this dialog. The Console app also lost connection to the server, as I saw it doing the Sync thing. James.
  14. Thanks Maser. The Unlock icon is greyed out, so I suppose it is already unlocked. Never noticed the 'Past Backups' section - I just assumed that it could be done from the list of backup in the Media Sets section. Removing 24 backups now (taking a long time!); will then groom the media sets. Thanks for your help Maser & Lennart. James.
