natew Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Hi This is a limitation of your Macintosh. Files larger than 2GB cannot be accessed over the network. You need to upgrade to Mac OSX 10.4 to get around it. Retrospect stores file backup sets data in a large single file. This file gets big very quickly and an error will occur when it hits 2GB. Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdlh Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 I encountered a similar problem, and fixed it by installing the most recent Retrospect Driver update. I did not need to change my Mac OS version. For details, see my post at http://forums.dantz.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=74939&page=0&vc=#Post74939 Hope this helps, --Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
