Mayoff Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Have you tried installing the 7.5.512 beta version? It should fix the WMI issue. The driver update released yesterday will not fix this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helpdesk Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Mayoff, the wmi error occured on my test environment and the beta patch fixed it. In my production environment I am a little gun-shy to upgrade but am getting a little worried that I am now 2 versions behind. Is there a site I can check to see when that beta release becomes official? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnc042 Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Hi, Checking on this issue since it's been two months since last post.. I notice the beta Retrospect mentioned that resolves this WMI repository error still hasn't been released yet. I'm on .508 and getting the WMI error, and was wondering when the fixed release was going to be.. well.. released? :-) Thanks in advance! \marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 The fix was released today. Hello, Retrospect 7.6 for Windows has now been released. This update is a free update for existing Retrospect 7.5 customers and contains several changes including support for a new Macintosh client and localization into several new languages. This update also includes bug fixes for the following issues: Retrospect Backup User (RBU): In Retrospect 7.6 the RBU is supported on Windows Vista and Server 2008. Unable to backup WMI Repository: Version 7.5.508 of Retrospect introduced a bug that prevented Retrospect from successfully backing up the WMI Repository on XP. Catalog out of Sync error: Retrospect 7.5.508 would sometimes report a catalog out of sync message when adding a new member to a backup set. Hang when poling Exchange mailbox: Previous versions of Retrospect could hang when polling an Exchange mailbox. Multiple Exchange 2007 servers in one domain not recognized: If multiple Exchange 2007 servers are running in the same domain, the previous version of Retrospect would only see the last server that was logged in. This release fixes this issue so that Retrospect now correctly recognizes and will protect multiple Exchange servers in the same domain. Multiple Versions of SQL on one system: If SQL 2000 and SQL 2005 were installed on the same machine, previous versions of Retrospect would only see and backup the SQL 2005 instance. Compare error backing up JPG files: This release fixes a problem where Retrospect would report a compare error for some JPG files that were backed up. Error -540 backing up Linux clients: In previous versions, Retrospect would report and error -540 (trouble creating service) when backing up Linux clients. Media verification compare errors: This release fixes an issue where Retrospect would incorrectly report compare errors when using media verification. Also included in this release is a new Retrospect Activity Monitor tool. When Retrospect is running under a different user account than the currently logged-in user, the Retrospect Monitor can be used to: Stop any or all Retrospect executions Quit Retrospect Re-launch Retrospect as the currently logged-in user This update can be downloaded from http://www.emcinsignia.com/updates and will be available via Automatic Updates within a few days. Thank you for using Retrospect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehslibrary Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 So when does 7.6 Multi-Server Edition get released? I just tried doing an update and it said none were found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 go to http://www.emcinsignia.com/updates and download the update directly. It won't show in automatic updates until early next week. We decided to wait until after the holiday weekend before releasing it as an automatic update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnc042 Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Was there also supposed to be an updated Mac client that goes with the 7.6 server? The client listed on the Downloads page is dated 2006.. Retrospect Client for Macintosh 6.1.130 2006-05-04 Is this actually the latest client for MacOS X? \marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 The update page also has: 6.1 Retrospect Client for Macintosh 6.2.229 2008-06-30 6 MB This is the latest client. It is also included in the 7.6 download. Be aware of: http://kb.dantz.com/article.asp?article=9688&p=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
