Rescuing a corrupted backup!


Recommended Posts

Sorry if this has been discussed before, but this a 12th hour request!

 

My place of work has Retrospect with DDS drives. I have a DDS2 tape that won't re-catalogue from either the cat file or the tape it's self. It just sits there for hours! I have been told that there is a way to retrieve the files one at a time. How do I go about doing this?

 

I'm running OS9, Retrospect 4.3A with DDS 2 / 4 drives.

 

ANY help would be amazing and make a very happy client!

 

Cheers,

 

Pam Smith

Hi Pam,

 

Sorry to say, any retrieval of files will require that you already have a working catalog that Retrospect can access. If you are having problems recataloging you should try to verify whether or not there is a hardware problem.

 

Try a backup/restore/recatalog with different tapes to see if reading and writing can still be performed.
