palei Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Hi, I am running Retrospect Backup Multiserver 6.5.336 on my Win XP PRO SP2 and recieve this error when doing my monthly backup. This is the second month that I do the backup and I got the same error the first time. That time I did a repair/recreate on the catalog and it workd fine afterwards. Today I got the same error when trying to backup, and I have started a repair/recreate again. As I am backing up 280 GB of data to a LTO 2 tape drive it takes a long time to recreate and I am not willing to have to do this every month. What am I doing wrong? best regards Pål Eilertsen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Hi Uninstall Retrospect and reinstall with 6.5.350 from the EMC Dantz updates site. Did you know you can rebuild a catalog using only the last tape in the backup set? It will make the recatalog much faster. Thanks nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palei Posted December 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Hi, I will try what you are suggesting. On another note; I have rebuilt the catalog now and are trying to backup, but I get an error that I need a new tape. When I try to select the tape allready in the tape streamer Retrospect tells me that "The tape cannot be added to this Backup Set. It is to different from the other media in the set." What does this mean? Pål Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 Hi What is your backup device? What tapes are in the drive? Some drives support multiple media types but you can't mix them in the backup set. Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palei Posted January 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 I have a Dell PowerVault 110T using LTO2 tapes. I have not used any other media then LTO2 tapes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Hi Make sure the driver for the tape drive is disabled in Windows device manager. Retrospect has its own driver. Are you able to erase the problem tape in Retrospect? Thanks nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palei Posted March 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Hi, The tapes erases just fine. I have also installed the 6.5.350 and things seem to work now. Pål Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
