jcapslock Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 If I right click on a backup set and choose groom, I get the error "Can't continue using <backupset name>, error -843 (resource is in use by another operation." I have rebooted and stopped all operations. If I setup a scheduled groom and manually start it from the run menu it works. What can I do to fix this issue?

RonaldL Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 What is the exact version of Retrospect you're running. Make sure you're updated to 7.0.326. Try forgetting the backup set and readding. (This will remove it from any scripts that it's in). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcapslock Posted September 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 7.0.326 None of my sets will groom and now it looks like none of the backup scripts that reference them will backup. They all say waiting for <backup set name>. There are no operations using any of the backup sets and I've rebooted. I would hope I don't have to forget all backup sets and readd them all.

jcapslock Posted September 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 I am still having this issue! I have forgotten the sets and readded them. They work fine until I enable grooming on them, at which point they are forever in use by another operation. How do I enable grooming on my sets? I have also tried recataloging one of the sets and it still gives me this error after I enable grooming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Hi Does this happen with a newly created backup set? In your first post you said that grooming would work if you schedule the groom and run it manually. In this situation does the grooming operation go all the way to completion or does it stop part way? Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcapslock Posted September 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 It's been a couple weeks since I did that. I can't remember if they ran all the way through or not. I called support, yesterday, and they instructed me to click the action button on the options tab and choose groom after enabled my groom policy. If I do that then it actually shows up as grooming in the execution window. Before I was just closing the window. However, I just started with one backup set this morning, and it has been running Groom for 5 hours and 30 minutes. It took 4 hours and 15 minutes to get to the point where it says grooming segment x of xxx (Before that it said please wait for about 3 hours in the status). It is only on segment 15 of 1,497. I haven't had a lot of experience with grooming yet, but this does not seem right or efficient. I'm grooming my backup set to 15 snapshots, and there were only maybe 18 snapshots of each source. My stategy is to have 15 days worth of backups on an online raid volume and groom it back once a week to avoid running out of space. Am I dreaming? I have 8 backup sets to groom. At this rate it will take 48 hours just to groom them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Hi The first groom takes a long time. After that it should get faster. Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcapslock Posted September 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Thanks Nate, I have it set to run at 6:00am this Sunday, so hopefully it will be done by Monday evening. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaeln Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Hi, By any chance, were you running proactive backups as well? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcapslock Posted September 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Yes, I was running two proactive backups at the time. What did you have in mind? Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
